"SANTA BARBARA - Three fisherman are paying a $10,000 penalty rather than fight state and federal allegations they fished in the protected Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary. Investigators say Shane and Jason Robinson of Santa Barbara and Joseph Campopiano of Morro Bay, fished south of Anacapa and Santa Cruz Islands during a two week period in March 2008.
State and federal officials say it's within the sanctuary's no fish zone."
That marine sanctuary laws are being enforced, especially those in poorer countries, is great news!
