NC Marine Fisheries Commission Begins Rulemaking Process For Recreational Atlantic Bonito Limits
The N.C. Marine Fisheries Commission (MFC) this week voted to begin the rulemaking process for a five-fish recreational bag limit for Atlantic Bonito.
The MFC-approved notice of text and the associated fiscal analysis for the proposed rule, which would also authorize the Director of the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries to implement additional management measures by proclamation with prior consent of the MFC.
The proposed rule will be posted in the N.C. Register in August, followed by a 60-day public comment period, including a public hearing that will be announced at a later time. If the rule is approved, the earliest effective date would be in 2027.
