RIGHT WHALES THAT HAVE BEEN KILLED ARE ENTANGLED WITH FISHING GEAR OR INJURED BY VESSEL STRIKES! OPPOSITION TO WIND TURBINES IS SIMPLY PROPAGANDA IF VESSEL SPEEDS LIMITATIONS ARE ELIMINATED!
Feds withdraw proposed vessel speed reduction rule
Federal regulators withdrew the vessel speed reduction rule proposed to protect North Atlantic right whales, per a notice posted on the Federal Register Wednesday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and National Marine Fisheries Service. The Current's Jason Graziadei reports that for more than two years, Nantucket fishermen, municipal officials and ferry operators have been flagging concerns about the proposed restriction, which would have effectively ended fast ferry travel to and from the island. The UMass Donahue Institute completed an economic impact analysis last month, finding that Nantucket's economy would take an annual financial hit worth millions of dollars. Last month, Gov. Healey wrote a letter to NOAA opposed to the proposed regulation. — Nantucket Current
