Deadliest fishing area is actually New England, not Alaska

National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health figures reveal that from 2000 to 2009, New England's fishery for sole, flounder, monkfish, pollock, haddock and cod takes far more lives. Our region's 26 fatalities are more than twice the total for crab fishing.

Fishermen who go out in bad weather to pull lobster pots or are lured unreasonably by the price of haddock, cod or monkfish this time of year, need to resist bad judgment when venturing forth.
