“James Young had faced two charges of harvesting rockweed in closed conservation areas and two charges of theft for harvesting rockweed without the permission of the upland landowner.”
“Young’s license was suspended for a year by the commissioner of marine resources in a separate process from the court case.”
“As for whether he will harvest again, Young says he’s not sure, stating, “I know I can’t go through this again.” ”
