Gotta be a tough call for some of these guys, I know Riverside sells a lot of fresh bunker when they can get it.

Combine this with a the possibility of an eel ban and you may put some shops under.

I wouldn't think much of anything. He's on the north and the bridge is going to the south. Perhaps when it's time to demo the old bridge?

But the traffic disruption is sure to hurt his business, especially if there's any limitations put on the boat ramp.

If you really want to do something, call those shops and let them know where you plan on doing business.

I know Dave at Ocean State,he's a great guy,and cares about fisheries management issues.He also sells a lot of bunker,and he's a small shop,in a competitve market.
I guess it's a tough call for these guys when it comes down to feeding your family.As much as I support the bills passage,I can't trash the guy for being in front of a bullseye.I will however keep doing all I can to ensure its passage.

The study pertaining to eel stocks conclude that they were not endangered. These results were published in several newspapers and magazines.

I understand that, but it doesn't mean there's not potential in the future. It's still a business risk that should be factored in.
