Georgia Law Banning Shrimping
Not To Affect Local Operations
Boats Not Expected
To Come South Far
Winter; Local Fish
Picture improving

The passage of law prohibit
ing shrimp fishing off the coast
of Georgia from January 4 to
March Is is expected to have little
or no effect on local shrimp opera
tons. spokesman for the industry
here said today.
The Georgia State Legislature
passed the law shortly before the
close of 1852 which has virtually
halted commercial shrimp fishing
in that state.
Under the provision of the act,
the area three miles off shore
along the coast line has been closed
to fishermen for a rs day period.
However, local shrimpers were
almost unanimous in their opinion
that the Georgia fishermen would
not come to Key Vest for the
winter season. They hold that
shrimp fishing during the winter
months in Georgia is on but a
limited scale due to the fact that
the larger shrimp migrate south
for the winter.
Generally, they added, boats
which go out after the remaining
shrimp, are of an extremely small
variety and are not equipped to
fish successfully in Key West.
The average size of the boats
fishing in Georgia at this time is
but $40 feet. it was pointed out.
Annually, the larger boats have
been coming to Florida as a matter
of course.
The act, marks the first
time that a closed season on fish
ing has been extended out into the
open sea. Previously. only inland
waters have been subjected TO such
controls.
Fishermen and Georgia Game
and Fish Agents are curious as to
how it viii work out.
David Could, coastal fisheries
supervisor, said the IS day closed
season will be strictly enforced. He
said the three mile line viii be
measured To the nearest shore,
