Taking Advantage of the Spill:

June 24th, 2010 by flanews

There have been reports of some recreational fishermen trying to use their boats to cash in on BP�s Vessels of Opportunities program. The program attempts to help charter boat captains who are forced to stop fishing because of the spill, earn a pay check cleaning up the oil. At an economic recovery taskforce meeting yesterday, Bob Zales, the president of the National Association of Charterboat Operators, warned a BP representative of the imposters trying to steal work from fishing and charter boat captains. To try and keep the program honest� BP is checking fishing licenses and denying applicants who aren�t career fishermen or charter boat captains.
