Fun Fishing Industry Facts From Scott Memhard

In 1989 Cape Pond Ice and The Railways sold 23,000 tons of ice to the fishing industry.

In 1998 Cape Pond Ice and the Railways sold 12,000 tons of ice to the fishing industry

In 2008 Cape Pond Ice and The Railways sold 5500 tons of ice to the fishing industry.

People say that Cape Pond Ice is a vital part of the hub services for the fishing industry but Scott says that for him to continue he will need alternative supporting uses to continue to serve that very same industry.  He says he needs financially viable supporting uses outside of the fishing industry to keep it all going.

He would need to be able to diversify to keep things going but the people that want him to keep going are the same ones that may put him out of business by not allowing him to diversify.

How ironic is that?

I have a couple more pics of this creature.

Paul Frontiero’s Snowy Owl Pic

Paul forwarded a couple pictures of this snowy owl that has been hanging around on the State Fish Pier.  Mark Ring had told me about it last week and said that it was probably responsible for the many dead seagulls around town.  He says they swoop in and rip out their guts and then leave the rest of the gull behind (I guess there’s not much fun in eating feathers)

Thanks for the pics Paul!

Where are those seagulls at?  I’m hungry damnit!
