Live from Fish Pier in Boston Harbor,
Rob reports on fish and ocean policy
with Mike Dunmyer of Ocean Champions.
First up is how life is better for both fish and fishermen when a catch
share program is deployed because it enables the fisherman to determine when
best to collect allocated share of the catch (as determined by the New
England Fisheries Management Council). Next, Mike tells of the events that
became what he calls: “the night of the living dead zone.” Harmful algal
bloom (red tide) legislation was killed on the House Floor and then got up
three days later to pass belatedly. Thirdly, Mike and Rob talk about the
politics behind a national ocean endowment bill and what you can do to
help.
