Mentioned in the newsletter:
"For the recreational fishery, the Department considered the needs
of both the largely shore-based summer fishery and the largely
boat-based fall fishery in implementing these new measures.
Sacrificing 8 days in December provided 62 days of summer opportunity
for kids, seniors and others without the means for boat-based fishing
as well as for bait and tackle shops that depend on their business."
For further information, contact the
DEP Marine Fisheries Division
P.O. Box 719
