The Marine Resource Advisory Council presents an update on the 2013 recreational fishing regulations for Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass. In 2012, NY anglers harvested significant numbers of these species, but 2013 sees a reduction in the Summer Flounder harvest limit by 14.3% due to declining federally set limits. Black Sea Bass regulations have also been revisited, with overharvesting concerns and strict measures proposed. The Council will meet in February to discuss these allocations and potential regulatory changes.

  1. Marine Resource Advisory Council January 15, 2013 An update on the 2013 Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass recreational fishing regulations

  2. Summer Flounder • 2012 Regulations: 4 fish at 19.5” May 1 – September 30 • In 2012 NY recreational anglers harvested (MRIP): • 514,328 fluke • 1.35 million targeted trips • NY’s 2013 allocation = 440,960 fish • Assuming no changes: • recreational summer flounder harvest reduction of 14.3%

  3. Declining Federally Set Harvest Limits **The Harvest Limit in 2013 is only ~90% of the 2012 limit.**

  4. Harvest Estimate Discrepancy Problem: Allocations are still based upon 1998 MRFSS harvest estimates NY Avg. = MRIP is 14.6% higher than MRFSS NJ Avg. = MRIP is 9.8% lower than MRFSS

  5. Summer Flounder …to be continued… • Reconsider the 1998 MRFSS based allocation? • Status quo regulations? • Decrease NY’s minimum size? • The next ASMFC meeting is scheduled for February 19-21, 2013.

  6. Black Sea Bass • 2012 Regulations: 15 fish at 13” June 15 – December 31 • In 2012 NY recreational anglers harvested (MRIP): • 272,955 black sea bass (through Oct. 31 only) • Nov. and Dec. estimates wont be available until ~Feb. 15 • 2012 Regional Management: • MA, RI, CT, NY & NJ • Overharvested black sea bass. • 2012 Coastwide: • Target = 1.32 million lbs • Harvest = ~3 million lbs

  7. Black Sea Bass : January and February Opening • In June 2012, the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council (MAFMC) voted to open federal waters to recreational harvest in Jan. & Feb. (Wave 1). • In Dec. 2012, the ASMFC voted to open state waters to recreational harvest during Wave 1. • NY followed suit: • Matched federal regulations (15 fish at 12.5”) • Bycatch Issue • Level economic playing field • Problems: • No monitoring (MRIP) during Wave 1 except in NC and FL. • Overharvest of black sea bass in 2012. • Unknown if/how states will have to account for Wave 1 harvest of black sea bass.

  8. Black Sea Bass: reconsidering annual catch limits • The MAFMC’s Scientific and Statistical Committee(SSC): • Black sea bass is a Data-Poor species • Uncertainty= conservative Allowable Biological Catch of 4.5 million pounds. • 2013 Recreational harvest limit of 1.85 million lbs. • SSC is reconsidering the ABC they have set: • SSC meets January 23, 2013. Council meets February 12 – 14, 2013. • The Council is reconsidering accountability measures: • Could effect all Council governed recreational fisheries • Outcome: • commercial and recreational catch limits • recreational quota “lb for lb paybacks” • recreational fishing seasons in 2013 & 2014 Currently, paybacks from the 2012 harvest would effectively close the 2014 recreational fishery.

  9. Black Sea Bass: Draft Addendum 23 Harvest reduction and management scenarios in 2013 • Management: • Coast-wide measures? 51% reduction • State by state? 20-25% reduction for NY • Regional approach? ~45% reduction MA-NJ • Strict regional approach – all regulations the same • Ad-hoc – as consistent as possible across the region • Using a 2 year or 3 year average? • Time Frame: • 1 year (expires after 2013) • 2 year (expires after 2014)

  10. Black Sea Bass: Draft Addendum 23 continued State by State Regional

  11. Scup • 2012 Private anglers: 20 fish at 10.5” May 1 – Dec. 31 • 2012 For Hire: 20 fish at 11” May 1-Dec. 31 except Sept. 1 – Oct. 31 when its 40 fish • In 2012, 4 state northern region (MA-NY): • 97% of the coast-wide recreational harvest • NY harvested 533,282 fish through Oct. 31 • 2012 Projected regional harvest: • ~3.37 million fish of its 6.95 million target in 2012 • The 2013 target is 6.8 million fish: • regulations will be liberalized in a regional manner • Proposed 2013 Federal Regulations: • 30 fish at 10”, Open season year around
