2 injured after dock collapses in New Bedford

October 12, 2023 New England

A dock collapsed Wednesday, injuring two people in New Bedford. According to the New Bedford Fire Chief, Scott Kruger, around 2p.m., a pier collapsed at the end of Hervey Tischon Avenue. When first responders arrived on the scene, they said one person was in the water and three others had gotten themselves out after a 225-by 36-foot portion of a bulkhead collapsed. A cause for the collapse was not immediately known but officials say the area that collapsed was under construction. Several nearby fishing vessels were also moved so first responders could assess the damage. Video, >>click to read/comment<< 15:00

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet

It took me a while to decide how to most accurately describe the situation that has been visited upon the New England fishing communities that are and since colonial times have been dependent on the groundfish fisheries.

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing. Hence the term “overfished.” Hence the mandated knee jerk reaction of the fisheries managers to not enough fish; cut back on fishing. What of other factors? They don’t count. It’s all about fishing, because fishing is all that the managers can control; it’s their Maslow’s Hammer.
