Workboat and Steel Pilings (2 of 3)

This is near the causeway connecting Moose Island (Eastport Maine) and the mainland, at Pleasant Point Indian Reservation. [Wife says, "why are we stopping here again?"] This lobster boat is probably operated by members of the Passamaquoddy First Peoples tribe. A part of a treaty between these First Peoples and the State of Maine in the 1970's said that the Passamaquoddys were subject to Maine fishing laws and regulations ... and the current generation of native fishermen is really unhappy about being thus restricted, wanting to fish using traditional and historic fishing methods, and catch limits. It is said some are simply ignoring these "white man's rules".
