Michael Tenedine, a 58-year-old charter captain from East Haven, Connecticut, was convicted in Suffolk County, New York, for illegal commercial fishing. He was found guilty of operating a charter vessel without a permit and illegally possessing Black Sea Bass, a protected species due to overfishing. The trial conviction is part of Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney's "Everblue Initiative," which aims to protect the county's extensive waterways and ecosystems. Tenedine was caught in June 2024 while operating his charter boat, the "Lucky Hook," in New York waters without proper authorization. District Attorney Tierney emphasized the importance of preserving the region's natural heritage and ensuring its enjoyment for future generations.
