New East Coast fisheries chief facing challenge amid fishery crisis, damaged relationships - The Washington Post
"New England’s fishing industry is in the middle what some fear is a fatal squeeze between fishery science, which shows key species in poor health, and federal law demanding tough cuts to protect the fish.
Fishermen don’t trust the science and some believe the regulators Bullard will lead are deliberately driving them off the water.
“The relationship between (regulators) and the industry I don’t think has ever been worse, and the relationship between NOAA and Capitol Hill I don’t think has ever been worse,” Bullard said."
