Action Needed Fluke Sea Bass and Scup

[Gerry Zagorski]

Action Needed By Monday December 13th!

December 13-16 the Mid Atlantic Fishery Management Council will be meeting to discuss a variety of fisheries. One of the more important topics will be the allocation of the Fluke, Sea Bass and Scup Quota for Commercial and Recreational Anglers.
- The current allocation for Fluke is 60% to Commercial and 40% to Recreational.
- For Scup it's 78% Commercial and 22% Recreational
- For Sea Bass it's 49% Commercial and 51% Recreational

The RFA is working in cooperation with and wrote a position statement agreeing with American Sportfishing Association, asking the Council to consider shifting more of the allocation to Recreational fishermen.
