Hard to believe that President Bush is both a military
expert and fisheries expert. He just signed an order
that will make it illegal to sell commercially caught
wild red drum and striped bass in federal waters in
teh Gulf of Mexico. What this means is that if you
have the dough to sport fish 3 or more miles off shore
in federal waters, then you get to eat these fish. If
you don’t have the economic or physical means, or just
plain don’t want to catch fish from your own federal
waters, then you can’t buy them from a commercial
fisherman anymore. Not at all surprising, but
consumers will be asking very soon where their
favorite fish are in the seafood case.
