The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration extended the boundaries of the closed fishing area in the Gulf of Mexico into the northern portion of the warm water current known as "the loop" current as a precautionary measure, the agency announced. The closed area now represents 45,728 square miles, which is about 19 percent of Gulf of Mexico federal waters. |
