| description:
|
In February 2024, the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission’s (ASMFC) Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Management Board approved a motion to initiate the development of an addendum to the Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Interstate Fishery Management Plan (FMP). The addendum will consider changes to two exemptions to the summer flounder commercial minimum mesh size requirements: the Small Mesh Exemption Program (SMEP) and the flynet exemption. This draft addendum presents background on the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission’s (Commission) management of the summer flounder commercial fishery, the addendum process and timeline, and a statement of the problem. This document also provides management options for public consideration and comment. This addendum is being developed in cooperation with the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council (Council), which is developing a corresponding framework action. The public comment process will be conducted by the Commission, and comments received will be reviewed by both management bodies prior to final action.
<br></br>
The public is encouraged to submit comments regarding the proposed management options in this document at any time during the public comment period. The final date comments will be accepted is September 28, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. (EST). Comments may be submitted at state public hearings or by mail or email. If you have any questions or would like to submit comment, please use the contact information below.
