Block Island violators to be charged.
On this past Wednesday night, Environmental Police Officers conducted an undercover operation at the Southwest Ledge area off Block Island to observe fishing for striped bass in the EEZ, a violation of federal law.
As a result, eleven boats were later boarded and the captains will be charged.
Nine of them are being referred to the National Marine Fisheries Service for violations of the federal Striped Bass Act.
Two are being charged in state court.
Names will not be released until all charges are filed.
The Law Enforcement Division will issue a press release later today or tomorrow.

PS. Those who want to illegally fish under cover of darkness can expect much more of this. From now on, poachers won't know who is watching.
