The Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries (MarineFisheries) is proposing to adopt the following
regulations for Massachusetts’ 2017 summer flounder recreational fishery: a 17" minimum size, a 5-
fish possession limit, and a 125-day season from May 22–September 23. In terms of projected harvest,
these regulations are conservationally equivalent to the Addendum XXVIII option 5 requirements for
Massachusetts (17" minimum size, 4-fish possession limit, and 125-day season).
RI: Applying the following recreational measures in 2017:
Minimum Size: 19” (same as option 5)
Season: May 19 – Dec 31 (227 days vs option 5's 245)
Bag Limit: 6 fish (option 5 is 4 fish)
