The Miami Herald reports that local commercial fishermen in Key Largo, Florida unanimously voted yesterday to oppose mandatory satellite tracking for vessels fishing for snapper and grouper. The meeting and vote come in response to a South Atlantic Fishery Management Council proposal to require all federal snapper-grouper permit holders to install vessel monitoring systems on their boats.
