Capt. Dylan Hubbard, listed as vice president and co-owner at Hubbard's Marina in Florida, said the NOAA has gone too far in its regulatory propositions.
"This current petition is proposing a 10[-kts] speed limit over a wide swath of our eastern Gulf of Mexico, an area in which 50 million angler trips are occurring," Hubbard said of the potentially affected area, which stretches along nearly 500 linear miles from the Florida-Alabama line to Tampa. Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
"A lot of people access the fishery — our economy, the whole southeast region is driven by recreational boating — and it's a $214 billion industry, and this has a huge impact proposed, and basically closing an area from 100 to 400 meters deep, or about 300 to 1,300 ft." He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
