I'm curious, why does MA allow out of state commercial fisherman to fish in state waters and use up commercial allocation share? Do they have to because of federal law? I don't have a commercial permit and the qouta will be the same either way, so I have no stake in this, but it does seem like the MA commercial guys would want the neighboring state guys kept away.
