A major consumer advocacy group has released a new study of fishery job losses caused by the regulatory program being pushed by the Obama administration ...
Food & Water Watch last week released its global research report showing a common pattern of job loss to consolidation and profiteering through catch share management regimens, and leaders called on Congress to prevent further expansions of the regulatory scheme, which came with controversy to Gloucester and the New England groundfishery last year.

Don’t take it personally Joe, when it comes to government destruction it isn’t just a local focus and fish are such a small part of their efforts in destruction that fish would show up as just residual noise on the radar screen.
Great video of the Transatlantic sailboat race start.
Including the Maltese Falcon, the largest privately
owned sailing vessel in the world. That’s what they
said anyway, an awesome ship.
Hell.
The government isn’t just out after the fishermen -
They are our to destroy each and everyone one that they can turn into their personal slaves.
Slaves through taxation, slaves through discriminatory laws,
slaves through class envy, slaves through any means it takes to build the power structure that is government today.
Declare yourself an Indian tribe and problem solved
State exempts tribes from marine life restrictions

San Francisco, CA (AP) —
State wildlife regulators have given tentative approval to a plan to restrict fishing off parts of Northern California that they say addresses Native Americans’ concerns about the possibility of losing their fishing rights and cultural practices.
But a tribal representative says the plan still falls short of what the tribes were seeking.
In a 4-1 vote on Wednesday, the state Fish and Wildlife Commission selected its preferred alternative for marine protection areas from the Oregon border south to Point Arena in Mendocino County. The plan exempts tribes from restrictions on harvesting marine life in certain areas on the North Coast.
But the tribes say they would still be restricted from other areas. They would also need to have a state fishing license and tribal identification and present evidence that they have historically gathered marine life in that area.
No private commercial enterprise is too small to be affected, even targeted by Obama’s anti-private enterprise, anti-American intentions.
Gubbament scientists are best understood as ‘Chicken Little in a Agency Issue white lab coat’.
“No Crisis, No Cash” is their core belief.
All must accept “Agenda Uber Alles” as the rallying cry in their labs, and in their shrunken little minds.
Why are we not surprised that Goobers from an Agency were not able to catch very many fish? For if they did have a good catch, their crisis would not be supported AND shortly neither would they.
A goober without its gooberment check is an ugly thing.
Deceitful, too.
As a retired commercial fisherman and friend of Joel’s I can attest to the truth of what he says. NMFS is not really concerned with “saving the fish”. They are only concerned with saving their jobs. They are a bunch of rabid enviros that don’t want ANYONE touching their fish. That means all you recreational fishermen are going to lose your ability to fish in the coming years, just as the commercial industry is now. Government really is the beast.
Government fish counts can no more be trusted than academics’ global warming temperatures!
Saw a show tonight-—don’t know what channel—free tv—can’t afford Dish, anymore.
Crab fishermen(sp?)....
It was their “last haul” before regulations put in place equality of results between the fishermen.
The captain of the ship was so upset about regulations, he refused to talk, then the show ended with no explanation.
But, we KNEW it was the obamanation.
If only the she/he in the Blight House (thanks, freeper! I’m stealing it!) and Manchelle couldn’t get lobster anymore.
Having spent roughly 14 years being involved with Federal and State fisheries management issues, I find at least two fundamental truths-
First, All fishery issues are political.
The bureauocracies react to both positive and negative pressures which are organized and persistent.
Second,Fishermen are rarely organized and/or persistent in their stands.
While effectively influencing specific issues,segments of the fishery will battle one another as readily as they will battle intrusive government regulation.
The largest threat, in this man’s view, is not NOAA. Rather it is the Environmental Industry which uses tax-exempt dollars to fund full-time “volunteers” on the advisory panels and work groups.
This industry constantly ratches up its goals to justify its fund-raising. The phrase “Save the ....” includes a never-ending definition of what “saved” means.
