Local anglers worry that fewer fish protections and warmer waters will hurt fish stocks and their catches.

Kelly Guerts, sponsor of the new USS Wisconsin, welded her initials into steel during the keel-laying ceremony on August 27 at Electric Boat's facilities in Quonset Point—an event that marks the start of her long-term role in the submarine's life.
