    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has announced that Massachusetts is transferring 65,000 pounds of its 2024 commercial bluefish quota to North Carolina. This change complies with the rules of the Atlantic Bluefish Fishery Management Plan and ensures North Carolina does not exceed its state quota. The revised quotas are 155,862 pounds for Massachusetts and 1,030,996 pounds for North Carolina. The transfer was mutually agreed upon by the two states and approved by the Regional Administrator.

    Simple Explanation

    Massachusetts has given some of its allowed fish-catching amount for bluefish to North Carolina, so both can stay within their limits. This helps North Carolina not catch too many fish, and both states agreed to this swap.

This adjustment keeps within the legal framework of fishery management laws and is effective from December 2 to December 31, 2024.
