"When the government steps in and creates a dislocation rather than Mother Nature, and people are selling their boats or their homes, we have a disaster, an economic disaster."

"Just as Massachusetts was the foundation for this nation, the fishing industry was the foundation of our economy."

"Sadly, each year, our fleet is vanishing. Each year, families who for generations have bravely and proudly fished our waters are forced out of their livelihoods."
