Hello. I'm Allison McNair. Welcome to NH Outlook. |
| Preshow #1 Return to index of stories... |
On this edition of Outlook. A new report on America's oceans says the seas are overfished. We'll look at what the findings mean for commercial fleets in New Hampshire and New England. |
| Preshow #2 Return to index of stories... |
And later, we'll take you to a seacoast store where fish is a family business. We'll give you a global view of the fish at your local market. |

But first, the future of the fishing industry in New Hampshire. The industry is small and getting smaller. Federal restrictions limit where, when and how fleets go about their business. Some fishermen say that's putting them out of work, in some cases permanently. And now, a new report paints a bleak picture of ocean resources. Chip Neal reports on the fisherman's quandry. |

Chip Neal revisits a New Hampshire commercial fisherman a year after new fishing regulations threatened his livelyhood. David Goethel, one of New Hampshire's inshore fishermen had to make do with fewer allowed days at sea as well as new closures of fishing areas and restrictions on his gear. Now, a year later, things are not looking any better for him. In fact a landmark national oceans study was just released with recommendations which will hurt the New Hampshire fishermen even more. The Pew Oceans Commission Report recommends a National Oceans Agency to oversee the rebuilding of fishing stocks, cleaning up polluted coastal waters, protecting estuaries, regulating marine aquaculture and more. And another Government Oceans Commission report due out in the fall is expected to echo many of these recommendations. We hear how these regulations have affected David Goethel forcing him to use larger meshed nets, and forcing him to travel 40 miles to fish instead of 6. The numbers of days he is allowed to fish is also decreasing. Dr. Andy Rosenberg , UNH Dean of Life Sciences and Agriculture, and former deputy director of the National Marine Fisheries Services, responds to the fishermen's concerns by reminding them that our point of view about the oceans has to change even if it is a painful process, or our fisheries stock will crash. |

- First of all let's answer David Goethel's question at the end of that piece. Do NH's commercial fishermen have to be exterminated to be saved? Both answer. - ways in which the Pew Oceans Report recommendations would affect NH fishermen? - Andy talk briefly about the fact that there are two commissions the Pew Oceans Commission a private entity which just came out with their report. And a National Oceans Commission appointed by the government which will come out with their report in the fall. Andy is a member of this government commission. Talk about the differences and similarities between the two reports. - talk about the recommendation for a new National Oceans Agency to oversee fisheries restoration, coastal waters cleanup, marine aquaculture and more. - don't we already have much of this governance in place with the National Marine Fisheries Service and the regiona councils? - some express hope that marine aquaculture can replace the portion of the fishing industry that does not survive. Is this true. - how are the estuaries an important part of our fisheries and what is the health of our estuaries in NH. - Pollution of our coastal waters - How much can national policy do without global cooperation? - Is the public ready to look at our oceans in a new way. How much of a chance is there of these recommendations becoming law and policy? |

So once the fish are caught, where do they end up? Restaurants and fish stores, you might think, buy directly from local fishermen and women. That's not necessarily the case. Producer Phil Vaughn visited a store in Rye to find out what kinds of fish are being sold and where they're coming from. |
