    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) announced a temporary rule allowing New Jersey to transfer part of its 2024 commercial bluefish quota to North Carolina. 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.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) aims to gather data from 72 respondents, with each response taking about 45 minutes. The public is invited to comment within 30 days, as this data will help make better-informed decisions benefiting the nation's fisheries under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA).

    Simple Explanation

They need 72 people to answer questions, and everyone can decide if they want to join or not, but they don't say exactly what questions they'll ask or how they will keep people's answers private.
