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

This bill prohibits commercial and recreational fishing using trawls, gill nets, and trammel nets in most New York coastal waters, including Long Island Sound, specific bays (like Great South Bay), and designated shoreline areas. It exempts only scientific research activities authorized by the environmental department. The ban applies to all waters listed in the law, such as coastal zones near Rockaway Point, Fire Island, and Lake Erie. Fishermen in these areas would need a scientific research permit to use these nets instead of standard fishing licenses.
