TL;DR: Inshore commercial shrimp trawling is devastating our marine fisheries by causing by-catch (untargeted marine animals trapped and killed in the nets) at a rate of 4 to 1 by weight.

North Carolina is the only state that still allows inshore shrimp trawling.

Here’s what the North Carolina Wildlife Federation has to say on the topic. It bugs me that they’re framing it as the loss of recreational flounder fishing being the primary consequence, but I suppose whatever brings more attention to the issue is a good thing.

The NC Wildlife Commission is holding a meeting Tonight at 7:00pm at the New Bern Community College
