Each week, on WBSM in New Bedford, Massachusetts, Bob Vanasse of Saving Seafood joins host Phil Paleologos to discuss issues related to the fisheries with news-making guests.
Ariel Collis, an economist with Georgetown Economic Services, discusses his firm's analysis of the New England Council's economic assessment of the various options pertaining to scallops that were considered at the November council meeting. Georgetown Economic Services looked at the long-term economic benefits projected for each alternative and determined that the long-term benefit calculations do not adequately take into account the uncertainty associated with the assumptions that underlie their projections.
Also joining Phil and Bob is Charlie Baker, a Republican Candidate for Governor of Massachusetts, who discusses his views on issues facing fisheries, and what his approach to fishery issues would be as governor.
