Are Some Commercial Fishing Practices Depleting Fish Stocks? - "Net Effect" - A WRAL Documentary

- Commercial fishing is not only part of our state’s economy, but also its heritage. So is recreational fishing, which has an economic impact on North Carolina that dwarfs that of commercial fishing. But many recreational fishermen complain that some of the tactics of commercial fishermen are catching too many fish and depleting what is a public trust resource that belongs to all North Carolinians. They say shrimp trawling and the use of anchored gill nets in our state’s inshore waters are killing too many fish.
“Net Effect” is a one-hour documentary that looks at some of the declining fish stocks in our state’s waters and some of the commercial fishing practices that recreational fishermen and conservation groups say is contributing to the problem. It also looks at the politics behind the Southern Flounder debate, the loopholes in how commercial fishing licenses are issued and the weaknesses in enforcement of existing fishing regulations.
“Net Effect," is hosted by WRAL News anchor David Crabtree and first aired Monday, Oct. 26, 2015. Writer/producer Clay Johnson. Photographer/editor Jay Jennings.

I'm a 3rd generation commercial fisherman. The CCA is out for blood. They want the whole industry shut down. I'm all about catch limits, but don't try to destroy my livelihood.
Right Coast we don’t have a problem with u fishing just stay off the coast u guys net up our rivers and creeks that’s the problem
@@billyedd1447 No photos it didn't happen!
Eric Slaughter nigga go fishing I. Nc coastal rivers you’ll see it
Yep couldn't get on Buzzards Bay for inshore nets. Greed is destroying our inshore waters.
Sewage dumps have killed off more fish and sea grass than all the fisherman with nets.
Ain't talking grass and our commercial fishing industry is destroying inshore fishing. Facts are facts, ignorance is not an excuse.
@Jeff Goodman as a commercial fisherman I have seen the damage that man has done. Fishing dose not compare by any measure.
@@davidherr7808 look at the damage you create
@Jeff Goodman I saw more fish floating from the last fish kill than all the fish I've seen at every fish house over my whole lifetime of fishing. Manatees, dolphins, turtles, you name it. Fisherman aren't the problem.
@@davidherr7808 fisherman aren't the problem, greed is.
Need to limit them down to only a couple hundred yards and make them mess size bigger so only mature older fish are caught and only allow a 25 to 30 horse outboard
I live in NC our fishing industry is no better than the Chinese. Our marine fisheries department let it happen because of the money put in their pockets. The method of large mesh gill nets and shrimping by catch is destroying our resource. Rod and reel fisherman suffer. It is criminal. Boycott flounder and shrimp at restaurants and markets, they will get the message. Look I love to eat both but is destroying our fisheries worth it? It is a SHAME that we are the only state on the east coast that still allows these destructive methods. Time to step up.
Great documentary, very well done. Sensitive to both sides yet I think touched on the core of the problem: lack of a government process to effectively deal with the problem.
The drama reminds me of "the Great Plowup" that led directly to the dust bowl of the 30's. Only when the Federal Gov marked out a process and made everyone swallow the needed bitter pills did they save the farmers.
Whether fair or not, the burden will eventually fall, down the road, squarely on the shoulders of the commercial industry, if the recreational fishery keeps going down. The pain threshold has just not been reached yet..
Why does the long term look stacked against the commercial fisherman? State revenue is one obvious factor- 1.6 billion vs 300 million. That's a lot more jobs in real terms, and the best answer they have to it all is 'We do not know what is causing the depletion of the other species' ? Sounds like the will not to know.. Second- There are more recreational fishermen and their families who vote, than commercial Pamlico sound fisherman.
+jandrew920 This is happening around the world. Commercial overfishing is destroying fish stocks everywhere and they don't bounce back after a year of quota's. They take decades to recover if ever. The balance of life is easily upset and won't always return the way it was.
Bullshit, same old song and dance for the last 50 fucking years. Gloom and Doom.
@@DeepWater5453 ignorant people looking for a dollar are destroying our resource. Been fishing the NC and North SC coast for 20 years, gets worse every year because of NC commercial fishing rules
I live in NC, our marine fisheries division is a JOKE.
