Prohibits the use of trawling, gill nets, and trammel nets except for scientific purposes; repealer

This bill prohibits the use of trawling, gill nets, and trammel nets for commercial or recreational fishing, with the only exception being for scientific research purposes. It directly affects fishermen and other individuals who currently use these specific types of nets to catch fish in New York waters. The legislation amends existing environmental laws to ban these methods entirely and restricts the use of nets in designated coastal zones unless a specific license is obtained. By removing previous geographic exemptions, the bill expands the areas where these fishing techniques are forbidden to protect local marine ecosystems.
