Rhod travels to Maine where closing fishing areas is seen as a viable way of protecting the North Atlantic Right Whale.

However, there hasn’t been a registered entanglement in the waters for nearly twenty years and a lot of fishermen haven’t ever seen a Right Whale. They’re angry at having to respond to new regulations to cope with an issue that they believe isn’t anything to do with them. Rhod finds that emotions are running high and a whole way of life and a multi-million dollar industry is under threat.
