State officials are temporarily closing a 23-mile stretch of water off the Florida Panhandle to the fishing of crabs, shrimp and saltwater fish because of the oil spill. The closure went into effect Monday and includes a portion of coastal waters off Escambia County. Fishing bans are put in place to protect the safety of the nation's seafood supply.
