NOAA and The Feds are Destroying Local Fisherman

NOAA and the Federal government have been putting local fisherman out of business for years. David Goethel, the owner and operator of the Ellen Diane–a 44-foot fishing trawler, out of Hampton, New Hampshire–explains their most recent attempt to snuff out his livelihood.

The Obligatory Northeast Snowfall Timelapse Video
