Hello NYMAC66,
Only signed on a few weeks ago. It was the combination of both topics like this and the wealth of boat knowlege that motivated me to register.
Here are two thoughts that might aid your digestion:
1. The Sardines were most likely caught only a couple of miles from the U.S. coast line.
2. The can they came in was made from U.S. scrap metal.

Once again the government "Fisheries Management" team has killed jobs in their never ending quest to manage that which they cannot manage. The only thing they seem to have done that we can be sure they will make work is to now require all salt water fishermen to "register" (Insert "Salt Water Fishing License" here). <sigh>:bsflag:
