Stimulus money, helping the environment, creating jobs
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/25/us/25fishnets.html

"Now the Nisqually tribe has a dive team that is part of a $4.6 million stimulus-financed effort to remove fishing nets that were often lost or discarded decades ago but can still kill fish, birds and other animals...

With more than 3,000 nets believed to be underwater, the project was expected to take many more years to complete. Now, however, Ms. Broadhurst said the group is getting four boats up and running at sites like the San Juan Islands in the north of the Sound to tribal fishing grounds in the south. The work should be finished by the end of 2010."

Ahhh, innocence. I remember when I had some of that.
