Fishing, National Fishing, National News, New York, News /

A commercial fisherman accused of conspiring with others to sell 200,000 pounds of fish in excess of legal quotas has been convicted in federal court in New York.
Christopher Winkler, 63, of Montauk, was convicted Wednesday in Central Islip of one count of criminal conspiracy, two counts of mail fraud and two counts of obstruction of justice. Winkler, the captain of a fishing trawler called the New Age, was accused of falsifying records to sell illegal fluke and black sea bass worth nearly $900,000 between 2014 and 2017.

National News, Nature Page & Night Sky /

Alaska fishermen will be able to harvest red king crab for the first time in two years, offering a slight reprieve to the beleaguered fishery beset by low numbers likely exacerbated by climate change.

Endangered red wolf can make it in the wild, but not without ‘significant’ help, study says

Home Page News, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky /

The endangered red wolf can survive in the wild, but only with “significant additional management intervention,” according to a long- awaited population viability analysis released on Sept. 29.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service also released an updated recovery plan Friday for “Canis rufus” — the only wolf species unique to the United States. It calls for spending nearly $328 million over the next 50 years to get the red wolf off the endangered species list.

In California, proposed tax on guns, ammo would pay for school safety

National Hunting, National News /

California lawmakers on Sept. 7 voted to raise taxes on guns and ammunition and use the money to pay for gun violence prevention programs and security improvements at public schools.
The federal government already taxes the sale of guns and ammunition nationwide. The government gives that money to the states, which spend it on wildlife conservation and hunter safety programs. California’s proposed tax, if it becomes law, would be 11% – matching the highest tax imposed by the federal government on guns.
