Anglers plan protest against fishing limits

Recreational anglers along the Gulf Coast are planning a floating protest against strict federal limits on red-snapper fishing that they say are hurting businesses throughout the region. Demonstrations are being organized in Florida, Alabama and Mississippi for June 4, with boat owners and captains planning to gather in marinas and passes to show their opposition to the rule. The demonstration will be held a day after the federal three-day fishing season ends for red snapper, one of the region’s most popular catches.
