Those fees for that plate actually go to the Massachusetts Environmental Trust. They also get money from the whale plate, and the Blackstone Valley plate. I'm all for protecting the environment, but you have to dig to find out where the money goes. Info at their website about the plates.

Their mission statement:

The Massachusetts Environmental Trust is a grantmaking organization that protects and restores water resources and their related ecosystems throughout the Commonwealth.

The Trust is founded on the principle that clean water is the right of all citizens. Our mission is to fund and coordinate projects that:

encourage cooperative efforts to raise environmental awareness, and

Enable innovative approaches that can protect, restore and improve water and water-related resources of the Commonwealth.

Since its inception, the Massachusetts Environmental Trust has awarded approximately $13 million in grants and settlement funds to more than 300 organizations. The individual programs of our grantees-though always focused on water--are eclectic, creative and dynamic. Examples include:

Protection of Northern Right Whales and other endangered marine species and their habitats

Watershed protection and conservation throughout the state

Educational activities & curricula for school children to increase awareness of Massachusetts waters and the effects of human activities upon them

Financial encouragement to community foundations to expand environmental grantmaking capacity

Community-based outreach programs that connect human health and the environment in areas disproportionately burdened by water pollution

South Carolina adopted the striped bass in 1939.
MA adopted the cod in 1974.
Rhode island also adopted the striped bass in the year 2000 but you know what, the clam cake would have been more appropiate.

Stripedbass saved the pilgrims, and maybe pochahontas warm teepee, not cod.

Seriously, I think if you approach it as a recreational fishing plate with a stripedbass on it then that would fly. You would have to pick where the probable meager proceeds would go.

Just in case no one knows the legislature voted into law registration plates that have either seven didgits and/or letters or a combination of both a while ago, which means words like bonito will be allowed on a plate sometime in the near future.

Hope you do better than we did here in NJ. Started the process nearly 5 years ago and it still hasn't happened. Sailed though and then got caught in red tape.
If it had been a plover plate it would've been done in a month!
