BOSTON (AP) — Fisherman Lou Williams sees plenty of harbor porpoises, usually swimming in small pods well away from his boat, unlike the herds of lookalike dolphins that get close enough to ride his vessel's wake.
A place Williams doesn't see many porpoises is his nets.
"It's a rare occasion," said Williams, 55, who fishes out of Gloucester. "I don't think more than a couple this year."
But federal regulators say far too many porpoises in the Gulf of Maine are drowning in fishing gear, specifically the stationary nets that Williams and other fishermen use, called gillnets.
The estimated fatalities are so high, they triggered a provision in federal rules that will close a busy fishing ground that extends from Gloucester to southern Maine to gillnets for two months annually, starting this Oct. 1.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
What’s a few hundred more unemployed? Not even a drop in the sea of millions. Besides, it’s for the environment. The greenies have been trying to get rid of gill nets for decades anyhow.
I hope that this blows up in Obama’s face and that it backfires on his party as well.
While the 0 admin may be struggling to get gas to $9 a gallon they certainly have figured out how to raise food prices.
“Crucify” the petrochemical sector. Then “crucify” fishermen. Up next...

Remember the Spotted Owl? It killed logging and helped destroy a vibrant fishery. Now they are trying to take 200,000 acres more timberland out of the Western Washington Working Forests. We’re fighting back.
Obama likes to spread the pain. He’s got the medical marijuana folks here on the West Coast, a huge support group, furious calling for his departure. He’s burning his supporters like a Cocaine soaked blunt. Makes me damn happy, not at the pain, but the education folks are getting.
Hmmmm. This starts the first of October. Let’s see if the fishermen, their families, and the local fish packers can remember that by the first Tuesday in November...
The more jobs that vanish, the lower the unemployment rate goes. Works well for 0.
I want to kick all the idiots who were talking about how special it would be to have a “black” president. He’s not black! He’s a communist! Damn people are sloooow. They need to be soaked in piss before they realize they’re being pissed on.
Now they can go back to hauling in bales of “found” pot again.
So Obama wants to ground fisherman on the Gulf of Maine from October 1 to December 1 for no good reason? As bad as I feel for the fishermen, I can’t help but notice that the timing is *perfect* for the GOP, what with the U.S. Senate election and the competitive ME-02 race this November; and if this also affects some fishermen from Portsmouth, NH, it could help the GOP win the NH governorship, hold the NH-01 and lock up NH’s 4 EVs to get Romney to 270.
Fewer jobs and higher food prices. 0bama be workin’ that Cloward and Piven.
Anybody got a list going on all the jobs and SPECIFIC JOB INDUSTRIES Obama has deliberately taking away from “Middle Class” Americans...
Here’s the start if one hasnt been started:
SPACE PROGRAM CUT 1,000s jobs lost
PIPELINE PROJECT VETOED 10,000s of jobs NOT given to US
FISHING in MAINE
ENVIRONMENTAL RULES COST 1000s in Louisiana after BP incident

Just what will closing the bay for two months accomplish ???
If the death rate is so high two months is meaningless except for the political points earned...
I won't repeat what I said as I walked by...my wife hates to take me shopping with her...
................October 1 to December 1 ...............
Yeah, right after the warmer waters of all summer long have made the fish nice and fat living off all the waters bounty, and before they leave the area on their migration routes.
Great,Zer0, kill another industry already severely hurting from over fishing and foreign factory boats.
