Take Action: Oppose Increases to Striped Bass Commercial Harvest

The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission has proposed management changes for Striped Bass that would allow states to voluntarily transfer unused commercial quota from a state with a surplus to a state in need.

Tell ASMFC that you do not support allowing state commercial quota transfers because that will likely lead to an increase in the harvest at a time when the striped bass population is overfished and in a strict rebuilding plan.
