Shaheen, Collins Introduce Bipartisan Bill to Help Lobster Industry Afford New Gear

U.S. Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Susan Collins (R-ME) introduced bipartisan legislation to support lobstermen by creating a grant program to help them comply with federal regulations that require a change in fishing gear, which reduces the risk of entanglement for highly endangered North Atlantic right whales. The Stewarding Atlantic Fisheries Ecosystems by Supporting Economic Assistance and Sustainability (SAFE SEAS) Act of 2022 will help lobstermen with the financial burden of this transition in gear – which is expected to cost the industry tens of millions of dollars each year. >click to read< 10:20

      She is, Muddog, and I have no confidence in her nor Senator Shaheen. I’m disturbed watching the Democrats through these troubling times as fuel goes through the roof, and Joe Blow says the increase is caused by Putin. This started on Day 1 of the Obiden Admin.

    Everything they accuse the other side of, they are guilty. The swamp is drained, and we can see the creatures.
