Ten Pointer
By a vote of 5-4 The NC Marine Fisheries Commission has ordered a ban on all gill nets in the Neuse and Pamlico rivers upstream from the designated ferry lines to the freshwater boundaries. In addition, entanglement nets downstream from the ferry lines will be severely restricted .... My understanding is that this will be a 2 year program designed to assess the impact on Striped Bass as well as Spotted Sea Trout, Red Drum and Flounder.
Our hope of course is that this will yield the data neccessary to ultimately lead to a total gill net ban in inshore waters.
I'd like to offer my congratulations and thanks to the Commissioners voting in the affirmative. This is indeed a step in the right direction.....
