Moratorium on New Coastal Fishing Regulations.

Summary

The bill stops any new or expanded rules that would limit commercial or recreational fishing in North Carolina’s coastal waters. It freezes recreational limits at the levels that were in effect on Jan. 1, 2019 and blocks changes to quotas, bag limits, seasons, gear, reporting or closures while the Collaboratory study is evaluated. The goal is to give the seafood industry and anglers certainty while the study guides future policy.
