Fish Traps

NO to fish traps. Period! They have proven to be extremely destructive and detrimental to fish populations wherever they have been used in a commercial fishery. And "ghost traps' just go on catching for years with no benefit to fish or fishermen. NO to traps.

2/3 rd's of the fishermen voted against the plan

we had measures in place to protect spawning fish , now the greedy want to kill them all. an estimated 750 gulf fishermen may lose thier buisnesses, becuase of this blatant theft . tar and feather the gulf council members who voted for this.
