Thumbs up from the Standard Times

In their 11/07/05 review of weekly news, the Standard Times commented on this meeting:

"Thumbs up for Gene Soccolich, adviser to the Port of New Bedford Business Alliance, several fishing vessel owners and leaders of Oceana, the national environmental group that works to restore fisheries, for meeting for 3½ hours last Wednesday in the galley of a fishing boat to seek common ground. These discussions can only help bring together the various sides that spend too much time in court disagreeing and not enough time building a sustainable industry and restoring a healthy marine ecosystem."
