This action follows the Atlantic Bluefish Fishery Management Plan's rules, ensuring North Carolina doesn't exceed its quota. New Jersey will transfer 40,000 pounds to North Carolina, resulting in a new quota of 108,898 pounds for New Jersey and 1,170,996 pounds for North Carolina. The rule is effective from December 11, 2024, to December 31, 2024.
