The end of seafood by 2048? Some people think so. If it happens, will consumers have been to blame? Politicians who ignore the advice and pleas of scientists? Fishermen who break quotas and fish illegally? The global fishing industry? The film suggests some preventative solutions that are simple and doable, but does the world have the crucial political will to react in time, or is this whole “Inconvenient Truth” about our oceans just a big lie? Narrated by Ted Danson.

Movie – “One More Dead Fish”
ONE MORE DEAD FISH

Allen and Stefan Forbes’s “One More Dead Fish” tells the heartwrenching story of environmentally-friendly handline fishermen fighting to survive in a rapidly globalizing industry. In fascinating interviews with local fishermen, government officials, biologists, and industry CEO’s, we learn about complex regulatory, legislative, and environmental issues. This film grounds the viewer in a clear historical context as it explains one of the world’s great environmental disasters, the destruction of the Grand Banks fisheries. And in examining the often Orwellian language of the multinational fishing industry, “One More Dead Fish” explores the media’s failure to report on the true environmental costs of globalization. This film points the way toward saving the world’s fisheries before it’s too late.
Join Joe and Helen Garland and Ron Gilson after the film for what is sure to be an impassioned discussion on the state of the fishing industry.

Working On A Dragger’s Net
Ending the leased day at sea program and cutting our boats down to 18 days fishing per year does not sound very promising.

Where Zat Answer
Since Shawn Cromwell (Congratulations!) identified this week’s Where Zat? so quickly, I may as well show you the whole photo. Here’s where I hung out during my kid years, smashing periwinkles with rocks for bait to catch cunners with drop lines off the float. I remember my cousin Dickie caught a sculpin one time. Scared the crap out of all us girls!
Notice that the boards at the end of the pier are missing. Each year the city guys put the boards up and shortly after, the boards are gone. Kids need to get a running start to jump. And how can you ride your bike off the end unless you have a clear path? I’m sure 75 years ago my dad did the same thing. Life as a kid in Magnolia…there ‘s nothing better! —–Sharon

Wire Fishing Cable Used To Tow Nets
The cable wire is actually a bunch of smaller wires braided together to give it incredible strength. There’s something beautiful about this stuff up close that I never see as beautiful when it’s just sitting around the dock.

Wire Fishing Cable Used To Tow Nets
This is a spool of wire. The wire that draggers use to haul in their nets. If you remember the picture from two days ago aboard The Patriot, this is the type of wire that goes onto winches.

Remnants of an old wooden trawler door. The kind that the many eastern rigged draggers that once populated our port used. Sad.

F/V Allison Carol
Captain Peter Mondello of the F/V Allison Carol told me this morning that he will now be doing fishing charters.
I don’t know what he will be charging, have nothing to gain financially if you book a charter through him.
What I do know however is that you won’t find a more relaxed, knowledgeable, fun loving skipper to put you on fish. If you want a hoity toity white glove fishing experience this probably isn’t the charter for you. But if you want to catch fish and plenty of them while having a great time with a really funny skipper that has been commercial fishing longer than I have been alive, then do yourself a favor and contact Pete.
He can be contacted
