Todays CapeCod Times, Herring Decline

[libassboy]

Armstrong said that striped bass and seal populations have reached levels present when Christopher Columbus arrived in the New World. But the river herring populations are 5 percent or less than what they were at that time.

They say that about deer now too, apparently theres as many now as there was 200 years ago.....wish we could say the same thing about Large.

Its a little inaccurate with respect to the life cycle of the river herring - but the story is pretty good overall. Hey - it's a small paper, at least they are doing some original reporting on environmental issues.
