It seems like a good idea, but wether it is or not is left to be seen.


Sounds like a boondoggle to me. The amount of pollution produced by
lobster boats is miniscule in the grand scheme of things, and so is
the amount of emissions that the lobstermen are exposed to. There are
lots of risks to lobster fishing that are far greater than diesel
exhaust. This whole idea was probably dreamed up by a bunch of old
salts trying to figure out out they could get some fed funding for
routine engine replacement.
