WNCT-TV
By Katie Augustine
A petition by the North Carolina Wildlife Federation (NCWF) could have a major impact on the commercial fishing industry.
The petition seeks to:
- Limit shrimpers workweek from five days (Monday-Friday) to three (Monday, Wednesday, Friday)
- To designate areas as shrimp trawl management areas
- Reduce the size of nets allowed and restrict gear in these newly designated areas
