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.
Senator Scott Brown (R-MA) discusses his authoring of the Fishing Impact Statement Honesty (FISH) Act — and his determination to have proper congressional oversight of the NOAA. In the second half of the show (beginning at 11:28), Dr. Brian Rothschild — Dean Emeritus of the UMass School for Marine Science and Technology — comments on the US-Canada negotiation result, raising catch limits to scientifically appropriate levels, compensating fishermen harmed by the catch share program, and continuing federal financing for SMAST.
