Judge Upholds Commercial Fishing Ban at Channel Islands Marine Reserve
- "A judicial panel has rejected an attempt by the fishing industry to reopen waters around California's Channel Islands that were designated last year as one of the largest no-fishing zones in the country. A three-judge panel of the state Court of Appeals upheld a lower court's decision this week, saying studies have found that marine reserves quickly increase fish populations and eventually prove an economic boon to commercial fishing." - excerpt from ENN article at http://www.enn.com/news/2004-02-19/s_13272.asp
