I hope that all sides are able to find a way to keep the industry healthy both financially and in terms of fish count, it will be interesting to follow along.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06457953816169352495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4635287696288055978.post-12211648867999696372009-06-18T12:51:11.586-04:002009-06-18T12:51:11.586-04:00Just to be clear: I'm not personally against s...Just to be clear: I'm not personally against sectors at all -- just trying to make sure everyone knows how sticky the subject of fisheries management is, especially in the New England groundfish fleet. My feeling is that the small guys are for it, the big guys against it. But that is probably a gross generalization.<br /><br />If anyone really wants to try to get a handle on it, go to a Council meeting and see the fur (fins? flippers?) fly! There are always very heated arguments when so many different people invested in fishing, fish processing, seafood sales, and the care of ocean ecosystems are involved. I was at a scallop advisory council meeting yesterday and thought they might have to bring law enforcement in at one point! :-) It is most certainly never simple.<br /><br />Thanks again and be well.jess mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06447179652114552029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4635287696288055978.post-58130993344096332352009-06-18T12:39:28.309-04:002009-06-18T12:39:28.309-04:00Overyonder:

I talked with a lot of fishermen for the radio piece this week, and the consensus seemed to be that most fishermen were for it—I had a feeling there were some who weren't but it was hard to get anyone to say it!<br /><br />I would love to join a CSF around here...I keep trying to convince the Fishmonger to start one. Maybe this winter! We'll see.<br /><br />Oh! and thank you for letting me know about the links. They should be all fixed up now...<br /><br />Best,<br />ElspethElspethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00909946927423140284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4635287696288055978.post-73182428502253596232009-06-18T12:22:14.674-04:002009-06-18T12:22:14.674-04:00It should be noted that not all fishermen (and oth...It should be noted that not all fishermen (and other stakeholders) are for sector management, and that while it seems to be working in a little fishing town like Chatham, it is much more difficult to implement in big ports like New Bedford where large, multi-boat corporations are involved. People are waiting with bated breath for next week's Council meeting to see how it goes down.<br /><br />I keep waiting for the Cape to start a catch share program like they have in Maine and on the North Shore:<br />http://www.portclydefreshcatch.com/<br />http://www.namanet.org/csf/cape-ann-fresh-catch<br />-- seems to be the ultimate way to eat local seafood (if you don't mind preparing it yourself).<br /><br />Thanks for bringing this up, Elspeth. I love reading your posts (and listening to your pieces on WCAI). Well done!<br /><br />(p.s. just so you know, the two "here" links in the last paragraph are broken.)jess mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06447179652114552029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4635287696288055978.post-39145049667338291262009-06-18T11:49:10.149-04:002009-06-18T11:49:10.149-04:00Thank you Alison and Rebecca.
