	Public Records: The History of the Arms and Great Seal of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
		Seals, such as those that appear on documents certified by the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have a long history and were mentioned even in the Bible.
		When the Province of Massachusetts began in 1692, the royal coat of arms of England, combined with a motto specific to the reigning monarch, became the official seal.
		The Great Seal is in the custody of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, who is required by the Constitution to affix an impression of it to all commissions (official appointments) issued in the name of the Commonwealth.

	WhaleNet - Seal info
		Commercial fishers and salmon farmers, in particular, are concerned that increasing seal populations are threatening their livelihoods -- a situation which is complicated by the concurrent collapse of wild groundfish stocks in the region.
		The seals began to make a slow comeback after the Massachusetts bounty was dropped in 1962, but they continued to be hunted because of their perceived threat to the fishing industry.
		The issue is further clouded by public perceptions of seals, which are influenced by two opposite and emotionally powerful images: on the one hand, seals are widely perceived as "cute" and in need of protection; on the other, they are seen as a menace, threatening the livelihoods of hardworking fishers and their families.
