Shrimpers warn of Gulf ban amid fishing cutbacks
Shrimpers in Brownsville warn they would be driven out of business if shrimping were banned in the Gulf of Mexico from May through July. The Gulf council proposes tighter limits on sport and commercial fishing to curb red snapper by reducing the daily bag limit, cutting commercial catch, and possibly closing shrimping during spring. More than 400 attended a Brownsville hearing as part of 11 public sessions on the plan.

The PUC previously allowed fixed rates in less populated areas with governing body approval.
