Louisiana lawmakers, conservationists and sport-fishing groups are praising passage of a measure they say will help sustain red snapper and other fish stocks in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Descend Act, which awaits President Donald Trump's signature to become law, mandates that offshore anglers carry a simple $12 tool that helps ensure the fish can survive after being returned to the water.
