It’s been May 1st or when the right whales leave “gulf of main” waters,,,

Why the f does it apply to south side CC,,, I’m pissed!

I guess that’s what I get for not responding to the calls for comment... honestly thought the changes where only going to apply to north of CC.

Grrrrrr

Is the south side not exempted?

Instead of shutting all state waters to lobster gear for three months beginning Feb. 1, the commission extended the closure to May 15 but exempted state waters south and southwest of the Cape. Whale survey records showed very few sightings of right whales in that area during the proposed closure period.
