Rhode Island fights 90-foot cap on menhaden boats
A New Jersey firm cites constitutional rights as it moves to file a federal suit against Rhode Island emergency rules banning vessels over 90 feet from fishing for menhaden in Narragansett Bay. Gov Noel ordered the cap after a 210-foot ship lingered in the bay, with enforcement threats issued to violators. Deputy Daniel Coyne said boats over 90 feet would be boarded and asked to leave. The case follows prior challenges to Rhode Island’s fishing law and a temporary court injunction.
