Massachusetts anglers haul 1,260-pound Atlantic blue marlin, near world record

Two Massachusetts fishermen aboard the Castafari battled a 1,260-pound Atlantic blue marlin off Cape Cod for about three hours, initially mistaking it for a shark. The fish weighed 1,260 pounds on an IGFA-certified scale in Falmouth, likely a Massachusetts state record and among the largest Atlantic blue marlins caught off the East Coast, approaching the world record of 1,402 pounds. Scientists estimate the fish at 25–30 years old, and the meat will be shared among about a dozen people.

Iceland's EU Referendum Turns on Fishing Rights and the Economy

Icelanders vote on resuming EU accession talks in August, with debate focused on economics, sovereignty, and who controls the country’s fishing grounds. The issue includes potential impacts from the EU’s Common Fisheries Policy and CAP subsidies, plus possible euro adoption, all set against broader geopolitical Arctic tensions and Iceland’s existing EU ties through the EEA and Schengen network.

Bluewater Lake State Park: A Southwest Oasis for Camping, Hiking, and Tiger Muskies

Bluewater Lake State Park in New Mexico sits roughly 100 miles from Albuquerque and 230 miles from Flagstaff, offering 149 campsites (electrical and non-electric), water, restrooms, and showers, plus options for primitive camping. Visitors can camp, hike two trails (Bluewater Lake Creek Hike with steep inclines and Bluewater Dam Trail, easy), bird watch for species like hummingbirds and egrets, and enjoy water activities such as kayaking, boating, swimming, and paddleboarding. The lake is notable for rare tiger muskies, hybrids introduced to control invasives, along with other species including cutthroat and rainbow trout, catfish, walleye, bass, and more. A New Mexico fishing license is required. The park makes for a strong road-trip stop between Albuquerque and Flagstaff.

Trump Reopens New England Marine Monument to Commercial Fishing

President Donald Trump signed a proclamation reopening the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument off Cape Cod to commercial fishing, reversing Obama-era protections and Biden-era restoration. Trump says appropriately managed fishing can occur without harming protected habitats and that the move will support the Maine lobster industry and reduce regulatory burdens, while environmental groups vow to challenge it in court and defend the monument’s protections.

Venice Battles an Invasive Sea Walnut Threatening Lagoon and Fisheries

Venice’s lagoon is being invaded by Mnemiopsis leidyi, the warty comb jelly known as the sea walnut, originally from the western Atlantic and now spreading through the Adriatic likely via ballast water and warmer waters linked to climate change. Scientists warn the invasive jellyfish are proliferating, clogging nets and preying on fish eggs, larvae and plankton, which harms the lagoon ecosystem and threatens the region’s multi‑billion‑euro fishing industry as conditions become increasingly favorable for its spread.
