ASMFC Summer Flounder, Scup and Black Sea Bass Board will meet September 1, 2009 to Discuss Recreational Overages

The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission's Summer Flounder, Scup and Black Sea Bass Board will meet September 1, 2009 at 10:30 a.m. to discuss recreational overages via a web-based conference call.

The Commission's Interstate Fisheries Management Program Policy Board directed the Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Management Board (Board) to consider potential overages for all three species and take action prior to September 1. This directive was taken in response information presented to the Policy Board regarding available black sea bass preliminary recreational harvest estimates and projections indicating that harvest will likely result in significant quota overages.

Board action could include emergency measures to prevent further overages in recreational fisheries for summer flounder, scup, and black sea bass.

man! when will it end.......them damn tree huggers are killing our sport. i am all for sustainable catches, i want the fish stocks to be healthy and just like they do, what worries me is they are not using invalid data, or data from other places (like florida) to justify our catches. safmc needs a enema!!! they admitted they were not using good data when ammendment 15?? (the last one). s*&t, let Joe Hiftco take em grouper fishing, that will show the gag population aint hurting......not that this one was about grouper but same deal.

It seems they knee-jerk at any given opportunity. It seems especially idiotic since UNCW has an excellent Marine Biology and Oceanography program and Cape Fear Community Has an excellent Marine Sciences program. Why are they not doing exhaustive research on this? It would be great experience for the students, recognition for the schools (not to mention our taxes support them and they are supposed to do things that benefit NC) and we would have some REAL DATA. But oh no, that would be too much logic to expect from them.
