Herring Run Status???
I ran into some guys dragging a sane net at a local pond after dark a couple of weeks ago. They were students from the Marine Biological Labs in Woods Hole, working on a grant to study the current river herring populations.
I asked them about any plans to re-open the runs and the news was not good. The populations are being wiped out by draggers in international waters and closing the runs is only estimated to be enough to delay the extinction.
Anybody hear anything positive about the subject?
