New York’s public hearings on striped bass regulations yield varying opinions

In December, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation hosted two public hearings on the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission’s Draft Addendum II to Amendment 7 to the Interstate Fishery Management Plan for Atlantic Striped Bass.
If adopted by the ASMFC, Addendum II will help fisheries managers rebuild the overfished striped bass stock by 2029, the deadline established in the striped bass management plan. The addendum focuses on reducing striped bass fishing mortality in 2024.
