Why are we considering spending millions on court battles against the regulatory attempt to rescue the North Atlantic Right Whale from extinction? Wouldn’t it be better if the millions raised for lengthy litigation were invested in manufacturing and providing the lobster fleet with the gear required to comply with the regulations? Can’t we spend our money on the heroic and historic act of giving the North Atlantic Right Whale one final shot at survival? That’s a defense fund I would generously, and gratefully, support. ~ Lisa Wilson, Yarmouth
