Understanding NC’s Mandatory Fish Harvest Reporting Policy
For the past several years the North Carolina recreational and commercial fishermen have endured a substantial decline in the state’s saltwater fishing stocks. This has lead to increased fishing regulations, and as a result, frustration as well as tension have increase with both sides. However, in recent months, events have taken place that show a level of progress on what has been a frustrating series of events. This is in regards to the recent North Carolina’s New Mandatory Fish Harvest Reporting Policy - 2024. It appears to have a promising solution that can potentially have a positive impact on the future of North Carolina’s coastal fishing health. I firmly believe that it’s time recreational and commercial anglers join together and embrace this effort which can benefit both groups greatly in the years to come. In recent days, some anglers have become confused by incorrect or misunderstood information. Below you will find a document provided by the NC Marine & Estuary Foundation that explains in perfect detail the New Mandatory Fish Harvest Reporting Policy. Please Read!
