Ronnie,
I agree the us trade rules make no sense but that has NOTHING to do with the claim this plant is closing because of reduced herring regulations.
The herring (sardines are atlantic herring) regs wer cut back because the quota has not been filled (read...overfishing) and there is no getting around that.
The MWT fleet has recently supplied that plant and its a fact.
As far as being a zealot...you bet your ass...the america industrial herring fleet has damaged all of our fishing communities. They are screwing up our forage/bait and in few years when the science shows how this lack of herring is part of the reason less stripers are migrating to Maine you might start paying attention.
FYI...I work with reps from the small local fishing fleet in Port Clyde and others from all over Maine. We would all love to see some Maine recs come to any one of the many herring hearings in Portland.
