Larry Yacubian, a former New Bedford scalloper — and Larry Ciulla, president of the Gloucester Seafood Display Auction —will be reimbursed by the U.S. Government to compensate them, at least in part, for past wrongdoing committed by NOAA Fisheries Enforcement. As Commerce Secretary Gary Locke described it in a recent press conference, they also received letters "to offer our sincere apology for the enforcement actions that the special master found to be unfair and unjust." Messrs. Yacubian and Ciulla were prominently featured by Dan Rather on his HDNet investigative news program, Dan Rather Reports. Saving Seafood presents promotional excerpts from this award-winning show as it explores the abuses of fishery enforcement. The entire video of Rather's broadcast is available here for a $1.99 purchase on iTunes — Season 6, episode 18 — "The New Tech Landscape" — May 17, 2011.
