The spring edition of Fish Eye News is dedicated to tell the public just that. The quarterly newsletter explains what happens to the dollars fishermen pay for commercial and recreational fishing licenses. It also explains what happens to the fines the public pays when they get a fishing ticket. Fish Eye News is a Web-based newsletter issued by the DMF public affairs section. A link can be found on the division’s Web site at http://www.ncdmf.net/fisheye/2009/MAR_fisheye.html. The intent of Fish Eye News is to draw attention to issues affecting marine fisheries in North Carolina and to promote a better understanding of agency functions. Publications may reprint articles in whole or part. For more information, contact Patricia Smith, the division’s public information officer, at (252) 808-8025 or Tricia.Smith@ncmail.net. |
