John,
One other huge hole in the whole debate is the fact that there are still millions upon millions of menhaden in the bay after Ark is done fishing for them. In August and September you can practically walk on juvenile pogies from Warwick to Bristol to Tiverton. These menhaden still perform the same cleansing function of large pogies. Many supporters of these bills make it appear like Narragansett Bay is a "Pogy Wasteland" once Ark leaves. Quite the contrary - probably more "pounds" of menhaden in the bay in August/Sept than anytime in the spring.
