Interesting article I got from a link on another site. Things could get rough for the fleet. We'll have to see what happens I guess.

Oh boy.  It looks like things are going to get a little tighter in the spots we can fish. 
You can't catch them from your computer chair.

Is there a map somewhere showing the regions?

fishing will be allowed there, but only without the use of trawling gear outside the strictly protected core zones
  • core zones = no fishing period
  • everywhere else in the protected area = fishing allowed but no trawling gear
