Section 41-9-295

Commercial fishing restrictions.

The commission may restrict, when necessary, as determined in writing in the sole discretion of the Commissioner of Conservation and Natural Resources, the activities of commercial fishing vessels in or around known underwater cultural resources when the likelihood of damage to or any alterations of the cultural resources is deemed evident. The restricted area shall encompass only the immediate area of the resource so as not to unduly disrupt fishing operations.
