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.

    Simple Explanation

    New Jersey gave some of its fishing limit for a type of fish called bluefish to North Carolina so that North Carolina wouldn't catch too many. Now, New Jersey can catch less fish, and North Carolina can catch more fish until the end of the month.
