The march is being sponsored by the Recreational Fishing Alliance...and it has come about mostly to oppose any no fishing zones...mpa's...that will hinder recreational use of the area....Right Pat Kirkill(spelling) is really bowing to the pressure with these new sectors they set up in the new ammendment to the New England groundfishery...bending so much that 8000 small boats wil be out of business and NMFS will only have to manage million dollar corporations and their boats....u forget that Gloucester, Plymouth, Green harbor are made up of mostly small boat commercial fisheries, while New Bedford has the million dollar bottom wreckers....
