New Bedford Remains Top Fishing Port

New Bedford still reigns supreme as the top fishing port for revenue in the US.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released their annual report on Thursday and once again, New Bedford led the nation.

The report did note a slight decrease in the national catch, from $5.5 billion in 2013 to $5.4 billion last year.

But despite the decrease overall, there was no slowing down New Bedford, who for the 15th consecutive year was the biggest money making fishing port in the country.

The report put the value of New Bedford's catch at $329 million, thanks largely to scallops.

Dutch Harbor, Alaska reported a catch of 762 million pounds, and came in second for value, at $191 million.
