Federal fishing managers say a staple seafood species caught by East Coast fishers for centuries is overfished
FILE - Fisherman David Goethel sorts cod and haddock while fishing off the coast of New Hampshire, April 23, 2016. Haddock, a staple seafood species targeted by East Coast fishermen for centuries, is experiencing overfishing, and changes are underway to prevent the fish's population from collapse, federal fishing managers said. Haddock are one of the most popular East Coast food fish, and they are commonly used in fish and chips and other popular New England seafood dishes.
But fewer haddock will be caught in New England this year after regulators cut fishing quotas. A recent scientific assessment found that the Gulf of Maine haddock stock declined unexpectedly, and that meant the catch quotas for the fish were unsustainably high, federal fishing managers said. However, numerous fishers said the assessment doesn't match what they're seeing on the water, where haddock appear to them to be plentiful. And the warning from the federal government arrives as more New England fishers rely on haddock than in previous decades because of the collapse of other seafood species,“We seem to find plenty, but they can't,” said Terry Alexander, a Maine-based fisher who targets haddock and other species. “It's a disaster is what it is.

Stained glass window shows Jesus Christ with dark skin, stirring questions about race in New EnglandA nearly 150-year-old stained-glass church window showing a dark-skinned Jesus Christ interacting with women has been rediscovered in a Rhode Island church. The artwork is stirring questions about race, the slave trade and the place of women in 19th century New England society. Experts say the window installed in 1878 in the long-closed St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Warren is one of the earliest public examples of Christ portrayed as a person of color. It also shows Christ interacting with women as equals. An architect turning the church into a private home hopes the window can be put on display in a museum.
