Re: Opportunities for Public Comment
In the past, our commercial representatives have fought against a "license to land" in NJ. So a boat from NC can land in NJ if they are following the landing regulations for NJ, without paying a separate fee. That idea may be changing going forward. As other states charge NJ commercial fishermen a landing fee, NJ fishermen are starting to listen to dialogue on reciprocity. That being said, I believe that any fees of that sort would have to come legislatively.
i think we all know that this addendum is not perfect, but this is an opportunity to comment on how the ASMFC will move forward. i believe there are 2 options, scream and yell that this is broken, or try to make at least one part of it less broken.
