They have been somewhat held at bay in New England but it's not a "forever" deal. I think it get's rexamined every few years ...
the law would prohibit the reduction boats from fishing within 3 miles of the coast...

small scale purse seiners still work in upper narragansett bay and mount hope bay in the spring time i thought...i think that they have been held at bay north of rhody because there hasn't been hardly any pogies since the mid 90's

with this nj law, maybe well start to see them return (and the good fishin with em)
