Our fall fishery is hugely sea herring dependent and last year they took 150% of their already huge quota (9 million lbs?) from the area off Ptown-Chatham.

The internet link does not include a map, but the newsprint article does. What is striking is that the area South of Nantucket that encompasses The Vineyard, the waters S of Cutty, 'Ganset, BI to LI has no inshore protection at all.

There is also an area that encompasses the inshore area along Cape Ann and CCBay. What the quota (if any) for that is I don't know.
