They want to destroy our way of life. You will own nothing, eat bugs, and be happy. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-proposal-limiting-boat-speeds-protect-right-whales-triggers-concern

Reducing Vessel Strikes to North Atlantic Right Whales
North Atlantic right whale vessel speed restrictions reduce the likelihood of lethal collisions between vessels and these endangered whales.

So because of a 1 out of 23 million chance of hitting a Right whale, we are going to shut down a 2000 year culture of sailing? It’s never going to happen

NOAA wants to reduce the likelihood of lethal collisions between vessels and endangered right whales. You will whine about it, vilify NOAA, eat whatever you want, and claim to be miserable. ;)

It’s not 35’ boats running into the whales .
I really think you have become senile Doug .or have really just been drinking way too much of our governments koolaid
This is like saying we need to drive 10 mph on the roads to not hit eagles .
.
Honestly tell me the difference of a set of 300 outboards hitting a whale on a 26’ regulator and a 36’ yellowfin ?
How about next you tell us how reducing dog fish catch by 59% was also a good move on their part .
How it helps any other of our protected species .

BS, we caught the Bluefish good last night! It was good to see other boats on the grounds. It sort of reminded me of the old days.(pre Sandy) We caught them on bait but jigs caught them better. Nothing over 4 pounds. It was a little Bumpy until we anchored. The seas laid down as the night progressed. Looking forward to next weekend. BS, when you coming down? You need to stop trolling and do some real fishing.

Blind Squirrel's Law: The expressed degree of concern for endangered right whales ∝1/ the willingness to consider effective solutions

Thx, Young Pedro. Glad you had a good night. :)
