This proposal slams another door in the face of young fisherman ,trying to get
started in comm .fishing. My son has been lobstering dilegently on his own
for 5 years with a pay as you go approach. An area 1a lob permit has been on
his horizon but not in the budget.[Lets not forget permits are selling for $10k-$15k]
Present rules already have him locked out of scallop, multi species,sea
urchin&other fisheries. I believe this commission would be better serving the
industry by managing lobster populations than young peoples lives.Previous rules
have forced more pressure on the state waters fishery and this propossal does
more of the same. This would only make the big cat fatter while the aspiring
young guy is squished. Lastly I would like to know who is given the GODLY
authority to blind side us with such a propossal .Young people are the future.
