The Down East Journal (02/07/14)

PRE News & Ideas | By Jared Brumbaugh

Published February 5, 2014 at 1:39 PM EST

Commercial fishing license fees are set to go up by 25 percent next month to fund the NC Division of Marine Fisheries' Observer Program. This week on the Down East Journal, we explain the program and explore how the fee increase may affect local commercial fisherman. And, we remember a forgotten community in New Bern that served as the social and cultural center of African American life in the early 1800’s. The Down East Journal airs Friday at noon on all of the PRE stations, and Saturday at noon on News and Ideas.
