I guess they're hoping that the sharks will reduce the numbers.

Wish I could remember where, but decades ago I read that the New York Bight was known to be a great white nursery.

Some are egg layers and some are live bearers.

Montauk used to be a quiet little drinking town with a fishing problem.

Don’t mess with their narrative. We paid a lot of money for this AMAZING NEW DISCOVERY! And they’ll be axing for more dough for more AMAZING VOYAGES OF DISCOVERY!

The info has always been available....but the local fishermen thay asked know better than to trust greenies with grants with sensitive information.

Say good-bye to commercial fishing.

Between the Stellwagen Bank sanctuary closure and montauk it’s inevitable.

Barbless hooks, that’s the solution.
