Bring it to the attention of POTUS.
Can’t we buy our lobsters now from Mexico?
And people wonder why industrial jobs have fled to China, Vietnam, India and elsewhere.
Decades ago RUSH LIMBAUGH warned against the COMMUNIST INFILTRATION of environmental organizations. This is another attempt to destroy American commerce and enterprise.
It’s a stupid liberal state.
Let them hang from a liberal government agency’s stupid lack logic.
Maine helped make the liberal government the stupid thing it is.
You can make the same argument about the cause of climate change.
OK now what’s so cool about Atlantic Right Whales? What values are provided by their existence off the Maine coast?
If the past is any indicator then only Americans will be hamstrung while foreigner’s will be allowed to continue on in the same areas. Disgusting.
What comes around goes around - they laughed at us in the 70s and 80s. Its their turn now.
Or the War on Natural Resource Harvesters continues unabated. Soon all food produced in the US will be factory made - the only source of real food will be produced in other countries.
Instead of lobster rolls and clam boats, maybe the summer tourists could just dine at some lovely Somali cuisine restaurants.
They report to PDJT.
PDJT needs to score points with Mainers...great opportunity.
Can’t we just buy our lobster from China?
I was all excited when I saw Portland, then it was followed by Maine. Maine folks are ok, it’s the the Oregon Portlander’s that suck.
Thank heavens they are only killing Right wing, conservative, fascist, pro-Trump Republican whales and not Left wing, communist, socialist, progressive and democrat whales. This is a cause the Left and AOC and her squad needs to take up and get the law stopping the killing of Right Whales ended so that more of them can be eliminated and thus kept from possible subversive Russian influence on the next election. [total sarcasm except that AOC might actually miss that]
I'd tell them to return their election process to the form supported by the former Constitution or screw off...
NOAA is overseen by the Dept. of Commerce presently being headed by Wilbur Ross.
Time for President Trump to have a little talk with Mr. Ross.
I heard the Feds are actually going to burn and sink the poor lobstermen’s boats — with no warning, after inviting the families — women and children — on board. Then they’re going to run them down with airplanes and submarines.
This article is a bunch of hyperbolic crap. The new regulations are moderate, and not nearly what the conservationists wanted. Weaker rope, fewer traps per line. The lobster business is booming.
Don’t worry, we can import Indian Lobsters.
Obama and Al Gore types are still in the dept, leftists.
Modeled after gun-control laws.
The wording that says they want Maine to come up with plans kind of negates much of the premise of the tale...
