Obama Will Set Aside 5,000 Square Miles Off New England--Ban Commercial Fishing

The State Department is hosting a two-day conference on the world's oceans, beginning today, and it's expected to produce a raft of announcements and initiatives, including new marine protected areas -- one off the coast of New England -- as well as a ban on single-use plastic bags.

Ahead of the conference, press reports said President Obama on Thursday will establish the first national marine monument in the Atlantic Ocean to permanently protect nearly 5,000 square miles of underwater canyons and mountains off the coast of New England.

The White House said the designation will lead to a ban on commercial fishing -- an industry that made New England famous -- but a 7-year exception will be granted for the lobster and red crab industries. Recreational fishing will be allowed within the monument. Mining and drilling will be banned in the protected area.

And ban fishing off of Montauck to preserve white shark nursery.

Lobstering in LIS for Connecticut fishermen has been banned b/c of a devastating wasting disease of the lobster.

I feel for the fishermen whose lifeblood has been fishing for generations.

Hawaii is reeling[no pun intended] from their huge Pacific expansion of a maritime preserve and no-fishing zone by Hussein.

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/09/26/citing-climate-change-obama-fences-in-huge-pacific-area-after-wheeling-and.html

The Obama decree essentially bans all commercial fishing and deep-sea mining (which doesn’t exist yet in any case) in the huge tract in perpetuity, though the announcement said there would be some exceptions for “recreational and traditional fishing that is consistent with the conservation goals of the Monument.”

We’ll be buying our fish from China. Oh goody.

I really think MA will go for Trump.

People around here are certainly over-educated, but they are not totally stupid.

We fish recreationally off the coast of MA. In the last few years the restrictions on what we can catch, size and amount has made it a waste of time to put a rod in the water.

Has anybody found the Article and Clause in the Constitution that allows either of these atrocities?

So why the hell is Obummer closing off so much federal land and oceanic map coordinates? He’s up to something, probably nefarious, but what?

I hear ya. How my son is able to keep track of all the changing regs, defies me. He generally fishes the canyon for yellowfin and big eye; they used to go to Stellwagen a couple times a year.

This is agenda 21. Part and parcel.

The plan is to stop all hunting, fishing, and farming/ranching. It is why they are turning wolves loose on rural people everywhere.

Also coming with agenda 21. Happening now on the west coast, which we left in the last 2 years.

Social justice, ya know. If one person can only afford a low rent apt, then everyone must only have that.
