Oh and that is different than the non-truths being spouted regarding water-quality and the such.
The bill is built on warm fuzzy memories. The "historical' population from the 70's was probably a result of our practices: i.e. less control on treatment of seage and the such, so waterquality was significantly worse than it is today.
I did a lot of research before forming my opinions, and straight from one of the top ecologists in the world who happens to be at URI/GSO "One important thing that folks should be aware of is that the chlorophyll concentrations in the mid bay at least have declined by about 75% since the early 1970s. As a result the bottom of the bay appears very food limited to us - supporting large schools of pelagic menhaden may not be such a great thing for demersal species."
