North Carolina has over 10.5 million residents, many of whom love to eat seafood.
North Carolinians who love local seafood might not know that the 4th Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals recently rejected an attempt by some recreational charter fishermen and a former producer of a North Carolina fishing show to make it illegal for North Carolina shrimp trawlers to discard fish while fishing for shrimp and to catch shrimp with trawls in Pamlico Sound unless the fishermen had a permit from Environmental Protection Agency or its state proxy.
