3511 Summer Flounder Size Limits; Possession Limits; Season

3511 Summer Flounder Size Limits; Possession Limits; Season

The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission's (ASMFC) Summer Flounder, Scup and Black Sea Bass Management Board approved Addendum XXVIII to the Summer Flounder, Scup, [and] Black Sea Bass Fishery Management Plan (FMP) on February 2, 2017, maintaining regional management for the 2017 recreational Summer Flounder fishery. Addendum XXVIII required that each region increase their Summer Flounder minimum size limit by one inch and adopt a no more than four fish possession limit to stay within the 2017 recreational harvest limit (RHL). The Department consulted with the other states within our ASMFC-defined region (Maryland and Virginia) and committed to adopting the regional measures by April 1, 2017. The Department increased its minimum recreational size limit from 16 inches to 17 inches through emergency action (Secretary's Order No. 2017-F-0012) to meet the agreed timeline, remain compliant with the FMP, prevent overfishing of the Summer Flounder resource and provide sufficient time for Delaware's fishing-dependent businesses and their clients/customers to plan for this important fishery. The present action is necessary to adopt the required minimum Summer Flounder recreational size limit through the normal regulatory process. Failure to adopt these measures may result in a federal closure of the fishery in accordance with the Atlantic Coastal Fisheries Cooperative Management Act. No change to Delaware's existing four fish possession limit or 365 day season is required.

The hearing record on the proposed changes to 7 DE Admin. Code 3511 Summer Flounder Size Limits; Possession Limits; Seasons will open June 1, 2017. Individuals may submit written comments regarding the proposed changes via e-mail to Lisa.Vest@state.de.us or via the USPS to Lisa Vest, Hearing Officer, DNREC, 89 Kings Highway, Dover, DE 19901 (302) 739-9042. A public hearing on the proposed amendment will be held on June 29, 2017 beginning at 6:00 PM in the DNREC Auditorium, located at the Richardson & Robbins Building, 89 Kings Highway, Dover, DE 19901.
