NOAA Expands Fishing Closed Area in Gulf of Mexico

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.–(ENEWSPF)–May 25, 2010.  NOAA has extended the closed fishing area in the Gulf of Mexico to match the Louisiana state waters closure west of the current boundaries, and to incorporate an area reportedly with oil in the southwest. Closing fishing in these areas is a precautionary measure to ensure that seafood from the Gulf will remain safe for consumers.
