Yep, that's when the Magnesson-Stevens act was first passed. |

.......but aren't most of the herring being sucked out of our NE waters (thus removing a huge portion of available forage for cod, bass, and tuna as well as killing significant bycatch) being legally sold to foreign factory ships inside US waters? Buying may not "fishing", but without the buying there would be no fishery so the end result is the same.
No chance the lack of forage is hurting cod recovery I suppose.

No, actually a very small percentage was sold to foreign factory ships a few years ago (remember the Russian ship anchored off Jamestown?) But recently AFAIK none of the catch has been sold to foreign factory ships. |

I was at the herring planning meeting in NB a year ago and my impression is that almost all of the catch is sold to foreign countries and processed at sea.
Is there a market for sea herring in this country? Where?
Whatever, the rape of these inshore forage species by pair trawling coincides very much with the terminal collapse of both the cod recovery and our fall striped bass fishing.
Coincidence no doubt.  |

The biggest market in this country is for lobster bait, primarily in ME. Yes a lot of the catch is exported, but its processed on shore. |
