Andrew Cohen, the former federal fisheries agent in charge of law enforcement for the Northeast working out of Gloucester, continues to receive his annual salary of at least $123,000 after being relieved of virtually all previous duties, according to official communications.
Cohen remains at his "duty station in Gloucester," but reports "directly" to Acting Law Enforcement Director Alan Risenhoover in Silver Spring, Md., where the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is based.
That and other e-mails from Risenhoover's office did not specify Cohen's role, but made clear that he is "in a non-supervisory position that does not include direct involvement with any enforcement actions in the Northeast."
