A story Friday about efforts to ban commercial fishing nets in North Carolina was not clear about the waters affected. The sponsor of the bill said he wanted the net ban to apply only to the state's sounds and rivers. An attorney who drew up the proposal included the Atlantic Ocean up to three miles off the North Carolina coast. Waterways that would be affected by the net ban bill would have to be debated and re-defined if the proposal comes up again. by CNB
