Wonder where the river herring have gone?

This is one of the few times I disagree with you. Yes, what they are doing is legal and that's the problem. I've been to the meetings and every time we push for more observer coverage (I believe it's 5% or less now) or mounting cameras on the ships they claim it's too expensive and they can't afford to pay for it. It's all bull#^&#^&#^&#^&, I was at the meeting in Newport in 2010 and left there sick to my stomach.

We have (perhaps had) a growing inshore cod fishery that could have produced shore fishing for cod once again. It was common to catch cod from shore from mid-November to April in spots like Brenton Point, Beavertail and especially Charlestown. These nets and the constant pressure so close to shore is going to destroy yet another fishery...not to mention what they are doing to the all important base of the food chain.
