North Carolina fisherman are regulated and pay for licenses.They are also fined if they take illegal size or quantity.This revenue from license and fines is suppose to go to conservation and management of fish populations. Where is that money going? Pollutants wash off driveways and those factories, farms and homes that use fertilizer that washes down stream or chemicals and pesticides that alter how the fish breed or warmer coastal waters are possible causes.If you have used these products,you may be guilty too.There are other numerous possible causes of the decline apart from fishing.Should we have regulations to start checking garages too?
