The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) announced a temporary rule allowing Rhode Island to transfer part of its 2024 bluefish quota to North Carolina, in line with the Atlantic Bluefish Fishery Management Plan. The transfer involves 50,000 pounds of bluefish to help North Carolina avoid exceeding its quota. This adjustment keeps within the legal framework of fishery management laws and is effective from December 2 to December 31, 2024.
Simple Explanation
Rhode Island is giving some of its fish to North Carolina because North Carolina doesn't have enough. This is like sharing extra cookies so that everyone has enough by the end of the year.
