Funny,

There are a few in this thread who are speaking as if they have detailed knowledge of the Menhaden Issue. Isn't it funny that at a Public Hearing on the lastest Menhaden Management Plan held in centrally located Plymouth MA at night so recs could attend, only four rec's showed up, and yes I was one of them. If we with the knowledge only complain on the internet and do not show up at the hearings, we will get what we deserve. A wise man once said that those who do not show up and participate forfeit their right to beeeaaaatttch.

By the way...if you are truely in favor of getting something done with regard to the bycatch issues in the Sea Herring Fishery, there is a hearing in fairhaven tonight and Gloucester on Wednesday. Info can be found at www.msba.net
