Abstract
The New England Fisheries Management Council, having failed with half-measures to preserve the cod fishery, in December ordered the emergency three-month closure of the cod fishery in the Gulf of Maine, during the spring spawning season. The closure disproportionately affects small boats restricted to coastal waters and older boats that can't fish offshore. Details on the restrictions, the history that led up to them, and the fishermen's strong reactions to the closure. A prediction was made that fishermen will go to Portland to fish, beyond the reach of regulations. With related editorial.
