Scallop Fleet Moves Inshore Threatening Destin Reefs
In Destin the water warms up drawing anglers closer to shore. Captains report strong catches on several trips while a new fleet of 100 foot scallop boats moves from Mobile and Pensacola toward the area. The bottom-dragging harvest damages artificial reefs and natural coral, alarming local fishermen. A toll free line invites public comments to the Department of Natural Resources.
