200 mile fishing limit begins Tuesday
The United States will assume control of almost all ocean fishing out to 200 miles from its coasts starting Tuesday, with eight regional councils to set quotas and foreign ships limited by permits and fees. The plan aims to protect depleted stocks like haddock and cod, curb foreign fleets, and aid American fishermen though it raises international tensions and coast guard enforcement needs.
