Got a survey call last night about establishing MPA's off of New England and if they are a good or bad idea. whole thing was about feelings, nothing to do with facts.

Kind of devious questions in my estimation asking if they should be protected from OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION, MINING ANDcommercial fishing. Later follow on question would you be ok since it "only" would affect a "small number" of people involved in commercial fishing??
