The Problem of Pot Buoys in Surf Fishing Areas

[DZ]

For those of you who are interested: The Rhode Island Marine Fisheries Council has on its New Business agenda this evening a "Discussion on density of fish pots in near-shore areas".

This is an issue I brought up in a past thread. As many of you know some of our surf fishing areas have recently become innundated with an influx of pot buoys. Newport, Narragansett and Watch Hill areas have been affected.

I will be at the meeting tonight to address the council - anyone else with a stake in this matter is encouraged to attend. The meeting will be held at 6pm at the Corless Auditorium of the URI Narragansett Bay Campus in Narragansett. This is your chance to help clear surf fishing areas from problem pot buoys.

Hope to see you there.
