Sea Sheppard targets tuna fishery

[JohnR]

Real mixed on this, might be easier if it was simply pirates fighting pirates.

Large, well funded organization, Sea Hippies Sea Sheppard, acting as a rogue navy using a wide breadth of mostly illegal tactics against a group of individuals committing illegal acts.

Supporters of the Sea Hippies have no issue with breaking laws when it suits them.

Detractors, in that area of the world, will have no issue with breaking laws when it suits them as well!

I hear there's plenty of fishermen around these parts that believe in that too!

But 2 wrongs yada, yada....

If your fishing illegally you should be penalized.

I don't think a local organization should group and take it upon itself to buy boats and shoot pepper spray at illegal comm fishing for stripers in the EEZ

Adding because I'm in front of my computer and not trying to get this typed in on the iPhone.

We wouldn't see a group sponsored by large area clubs and business, hire several quasi-military style boats using quasi-military tactics harrassing the CT fishing fleet in the RI EEZso they can sell fish in Mass Commercial season.

Report to officials? Drop a dime? Sure, that has been done as evidenced by the past few years.

But Johnny Sea Hippie hasn't had Thurston O'Howell donate a couple hundred Gs so to buy an offshore fisher so he can play PETA Coast Guard.
