FLORIDA: Washington DC Fishermans Protest |
|
Fishermen, marina operators, and charter boat captains rallied in Washington DC last week to protest what they call excessive fishing regulations that will be putting them out of work. NOAA, the national Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, which enforces the Magnuson-Stevens Act has already closed some areas and intends to close others to stop overfishing. Many coastal communities have been negatively impacted by these closures since their primary economy depends on the fishing industry. From fishermen to restaurants and other marine related business owners, they are all feeling the heat. |
