Can the government take away the right to fish?

The California State Game and Planning Commission is considering banning fishing of some parts of the California coast, including Laguna Beach, reports the Orange County Register.  Do people who make a living in the fishing industry have a right to continue that livelihood?   If the government is going to take away that right, should they be compensated?  People have made enormous investments in developing this business.   It seems it does not matter how badly our economy is hurting, the environmental advocates will continue to push for regulations which kill California business.  They should consider environmental protection in the Third World–because that’s where they are sending our economy.
