R/R
it could be .but its legal in RI / if you have a commercial finfish license in RI ........ it can be from boat or shore >>> R&R / nets / dragging .diving .
I went to a [open] meeting on Monday night ... about a bunch of proposals, requests, etc .. concerning or effecting RI waters .
One of the discussions was on wordage to make it [clearer] on what & when >. where & who .on commercial fishing ;;;it centered around the R &R & boats ..
Someone rasised the question of guys that fished from shore ;;; Duh // then asked a two part question on diving for shellfish & also fin fish ...........another Duh . they had not even thought about either ..... so those are two more issues that they will address & have in writing . so Enforcement won,t have to deal with more [gray] area,s .
Its legal & it will stay legal . we tried to control it some .........25 years ago in the shellfish industry ........ & lost because of the backing that they have from rec divers ............ shellfishing has paid the price dearly for that loss ;;
