Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Framework Framework on Conservation Equivalency, Block Island Sound Transit, and Slot Limits
The Council and the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) jointly manage summer flounder, scup, and black sea bass. The Council and the ASMFC are developing a joint framework action and addendum to consider adding the following management options to the Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Fishery Management Plan:
Conservation equivalency for the recreational black sea bass fishery,
Conservation equivalency rollover for summer flounder
Transit provisions for Block Island Sound for recreational and/or commercial fisheries for all three species, and
Slot limits for recreational fisheries for all three species
