Oil spill to shut down 19 percent of fishing
PENSACOLA BEACH, Fla. – The sign outside the Pensacola Beach marina says "We're Still Fishing," but that's not really true.
The federal government announced Tuesday it is nearly tripling the size of an area in the Gulf of Mexico that's closed to fishing because of a massive oil spill off the coast of Louisiana.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said it was closing nearly 46,000 square miles, or about 19 percent of federal waters, beginning at 6 p.m.
