Feds lay out cuts in catch limits seen as devastating to Northeast fishing industry

Federal fisheries managers have officially announced proposed cuts in catch limits that they acknowledge will devastate the New England fleet.

The size of the proposed cuts have been known for weeks, but are now open for public comment until April 15. The 2013 fishing season starts May 1.

The cuts include a 77 percent year-to-year reduction in the allowed catch of cod in the Gulf of Maine and a 61 percent cut on Georges Bank cod.

The cuts come after poor assessments of the health of cod and other key species. Fishermen say the reductions will force most of the fleet out of business.

Regulators have offered measures to mitigate the reductions and are also now proposing to allow access to winter flounder in southern New England waters. Regulators say could bring in $5 million in revenues.

Southern Baptists expand north with church plants

The Southern Baptist Convention is making a multi-million dollar push to plant more churches in New England, a region skeptical of the South and increasingly indifferent to religion.

Since 2002, Southern Baptists have spent roughly $5 million to plant churches around the region. Another $800,000 is committed this year.

They’ve started 133 new churches in that time, a nearly 70 percent increase that brings their regional total to 325.

Hartford Seminary professor Scott Thumma says no denomination is investing as much in New England church planting. He notes that church attendance — which is up 20 percent — is not growing as fast as the number of churches.

Thumma said there’s little proof they’re reaching area lifers, including the Roman Catholic population and increasing numbers of secularists.
