the money will probably go to subsidize low income families to buy home heating oil. The money will not benefit fishermen.
Frankly I don't see any point in it other than to provide an improved method of counting the number of fishermen.
Enforcement will be a joke.
That said, the state has collected significant some of money from the fishing industry already in the form of excise taxes on fishing stuff ( ask salty about that) This money has been sitting around for a while and it now looks like MV will get a chuck of it in the form of a fishing pier. That's right the STATE is going to build a fishing pier in oak bluffs next to the steamship pier and entrance to OB harbor. (its under design now and construction is slated within to happen pretty soon I think) It will not cost us a thing except for trash pick up) I am all for this. It is a great place for kids to spend time. (sittin' on the dock of the bay...)
