The proposed rule for Atlantic bonito (15A NCAC 03M .0524) is exactly the kind of proactive management we need more of on the Atlantic coast.



North Carolina currently has no rules in place for Atlantic bonito. No size limit. No bag limit. No stock assessment. Meanwhile, recreational landings have been climbing steadily since 2017 and now exceed the long-term average. North Carolina alone accounts for 22 percent of all coastwide recreational bonito harvest. That is a massive share of a coastal migratory resource, and the trend is unmistakable.

Using his personal experiences with redfish and fishing trips with his grandfather, he explores the economic and non-economic values of redfish. Meadows highlights that many people tend to assess the value of redfish solely by its market price, such as the cost of a filet. However, he argues that this approach overlooks the broader value derived from the fishing experience, including the joy of being on the water, the thrill of the catch, and the environmental value of having more fish in the ecosystem. Meadows continues by explaining how traditional fisheries economics focus on maximizing revenue from fish harvests, but this mindset misses the recreational and environmental importance of fish populations. He suggests that species like largemouth bass have already made the transition from being valued for their market worth to being more valuable alive and in the water. He asserts that redfish are similarly valuable when left in the water rather than caught and filleted. By quantifying the economic impact of recreational fishing and travel, Meadows estimates the Louisiana redfish’s value to be around $100 per fish annually at a LOW end. Ben concludes by emphasizing that promoting the conservation of redfish, rather than prioritizing their harvest, can create a virtuous cycle of economic and environmental benefits.

The app allows users to log catches, record details such as species and length, and automatically pull environmental data like tide, water temperature, and moon phase from various sensors. The app’s goal is twofold: to help anglers improve their fishing through data-driven insights and to contribute that data to fishery science and management efforts. Chou highlights the importance of protecting user privacy, ensuring that location data is obscured to avoid overfishing hotspots, which has been a concern with other apps. In addition to benefiting anglers, the GotOne app has been embraced by scientific organizations and conservation groups. It provides valuable aggregate data to researchers while protecting individual fishing spots. Chou mentions partnerships with organizations like the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) and the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries. The app has expanded to support multiple species and is being used to gather catch and release data, particularly for striped bass. Chou shares examples of how the app’s data has already contributed to scientific studies and influenced fishing gear changes to reduce mortality rates in released fish. The presentation emphasizes the potential of the app to enhance both personal angling experiences and fisheries management.

The first half of the presentation features LDWF’s Jason Adrience, the Finfish Program Manager and Chief Scientist, and focuses on the status and management of redfish. He begins by discussing the biology of redfish, emphasizing their long lifespan (up to 39 years), maturity stages, and spawning habits. He highlights changes in redfish regulations over the years, beginning with the first limits set in 1984 and leading to more recent restrictions, such as the slot limit and reduction in the number of fish allowed to be caught. Adrience explains that while the redfish population is not yet overfished, overfishing has been occurring, particularly in the last decade. The management goal is to improve escapement rates, allowing 30% of sub-adults to mature and contribute to the spawning population. The second half of the presentation shifts to the importance of Louisiana’s LA Creel program, which collects fishery data through dockside interviews and surveys. Chris Schieble, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the LDWF, describes how LA Creel helps track both inshore and offshore species, including redfish and spotted sea trout. They discuss challenges like “survey fatigue” among anglers, which has led to a decline in participation, particularly among charter captains. Accurate data collection is emphasized as crucial for making informed fishery management decisions, and they encourage more participation to ensure reliable data.

Supported by organizations like the Lower Keys Guide Association and Bajio Sunglasses, this project focuses on the biology and management of an amazing species. Initially starting as a side project, Dr. Drymon’s interest in the Jack Crevalle grew after realizing its ecological and recreational importance. His research has centered around understanding the fish’s age structure, diet, and movement patterns, often using tagging and telemetry methods. The study reveals that the Jack Crevalle plays a crucial role in coastal ecosystems, but their population in some areas, like the Florida Keys, is declining due to factors like overfishing, prey loss, and habitat changes. Dr. Drymon emphasizes the need for proactive conservation efforts for Jack Crevalle, highlighting their importance to both recreational fishing and ecosystem health. He advocates for more research on their movements, suggesting that healthy populations in some areas, like Mobile Bay, might help replenish declining stocks elsewhere. Additionally, he has worked to promote catch-and-release practices to reduce unnecessary fish kills during fishing tournaments. He also encourages greater cooperation among scientists, anglers, and policymakers to protect this species and ensure its sustainability for future generations.

Recreational data uncertainties, shifting distribution, and structural management deficiencies are some of these issues frustrating cobia management, and what Addendum II seeks to address. Cobia from Georgia through Rhode Island are managed by the ASMFC through Amendment 1, which utilizes a quota strategy to maintain the sustainability of the stock. However, because the fishery is overwhelmingly recreational, monitoring quotas and developing new management measures can be very challenging. The Marine Recreational Informational Program (MRIP) has its flaws, and recreational catch and effort of Atlantic cobia expose all the limitations of our data collection program, which is in part what Addendum II hopes to address. 

 

Draft Addendum II considers new allocations schemes for the recreational sector, such as moving from a state-by-state scheme to regional or coastwide harvest targets, which would be better suited to utilize the recreational fishing data we have now. In addition, the addendum includes other alternatives which could give managers more tools to respond to new stock assessments and make better use of the available fisheries data. This document is open for public comment now until July 8th.

They utilized an efficient flow of discourse at today's ASMFC Winter Meeting to never even acknowledge or discuss what 1900+ striped bass stakeholders demanded with their public comments.

From the initial seconds they transitioned from the presentation to the discussion, minority Option D took center stage. This same Option D received a total of THREE (3) votes across the ENTIRE east coast public comment period. This motion was workshopped with a substitute motion until the Board came to an agreement, choosing to "kick the can down the road". Not a single second of discussion about what 1900+ stakeholders told the Board they wanted to see in their fishery.

In this rapid reaction podcast, Tony summarizes what went down in another largely disappointing ASMFC Striped Bass Board Meeting.

The public outcry for guardrails for conservation equivalency (CE) was deafening. Today we rise and CE lives on. We were told it would take an addendum to Amendment 7 to establish these guardrails but there was “no appetite for an immediate addendum”. Well, last week we were presented a Draft Addendum 1 to allow commercial quota transfers for striped bass.

The ASGA team remains committed to being honest brokers when it comes to striped bass management. We are not “anti-commercial”. We continue to amplify discussions focused on fixing the issues within our own recreational community. That being said, this commercial quota transfer addendum is not good - nor should it go unaddressed by striped bass community stakeholders.

This is not what YOU asked for in your fishery - and now the time has come to remind ASMFC exactly that.

Dr. Duval, who has an extensive background in fisheries ecology and recreational fisheries issues, describes what the traditional process looked like and how the approved approach will operate.

The concept of the Harvest Control Year, and efforts to get it implemented quickly, have generated a lot of buzz and controversy in recent months. We certainly had our concerns, and still have several that remain unaddressed—namely, will the Harvest Control Rule work as intended, or will it increase the risk of overfishing and unsustainably managed fisheries? Follow along to learn more about what exactly the Harvest Control Rule is and what it might mean for the management of these four critical species.
