Agencies fish for input on whether eel is endangered

[Swimmer]

In the Patriot Ledger today page 7 two guys from Maine have convinced the U.S. Fish and Wildlife folks to conduct an extensive review of declining numbers of American Eels. I don't know how to put the article here on the p[ost so everyone can probably just go to the Ledgers web site and review it for themselves.
The article pretty much quotes a Tim Watts of Middleboro who says he and his brother have realized that not as many eels are swimming up the Weweantic. Mr. Sandman is going to be dismayed at hearing and reading this.
