Maine Gulls Shooting Not A Lasting Fix At Boothbay Harbor
Federal wildlife official says gull shooting offers no lasting solution to Boothbay Harbor’s water pollution problem as 800 plus gulls roost at Adams Pond and shrimp refuse worsens unsanitary conditions. Town manager says 20 guns have fired since mid month to keep birds off the pond. Nearby Clinton suffers fire losses with two cattle barns destroyed and four animals lost amid multiple fires in five days. Employment security reports sharp rise in January unemployment benefits due to shoe, construction and food processing layoffs.
