Coast Guard medevacs man from fishing vessel 15 miles west of Coos Bay

NORTH BEND, Ore. — A Coast Guard aircrew medically evacuated a 28-year-old man Friday morning off the fishing vessel ‘Alaska Ocean,’ which was operating 15-miles west of Coos Bay.

A Coast Guard Sector North Bend aircrew hoisted the man after he experienced chest pains and seasickness.

Watchstanders at the 13th Coast Guard District Command Center were notified at 3:15 a.m. by the company who owns the fishing vessel that the man was suffering medical issues.

A constant communication schedule was established between the sector and the fishing vessel.

At 6 a.m., after conferring with the duty flight surgeon, the sector dispatched an MH-65 Dolphin rescue helicopter crew.

The rescue crew arrived on scene at 9 a.m. and began hoist operations to transport the man.

The aircrew brought him to the sector’s air base, where he was transferred to awaiting emergency medical services.

The current condition of the man is unknown.

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. When it comes to the oceans it seems as if it’s about all that the industry connected mega-foundations that support the anti-fishing ENGOs with hundreds of millions of dollars a year in “donations” are interested in controlling.
