Federal Budget Cuts Target Environmental Programs Again
- "Federal budget cuts have forced the National Marine Fisheries Service to make reductions in its Northeast Fishery Observer Program. The observers are federally contracted individuals who ride on fishing vessels and record what is being caught... They are part of the NMFS effort in New England to bring back severely depleted bottom-feeding fish like cod, haddock and flounder." - excerpt from Cape Cod Times March 13, 2006 article, "Funding slashed for fishery observers," by Doug Fraser, Staff Writer.
