New regulations for striped bass aimed at addressing conservation concerns

The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) Striped Bass Management Board exercised a rarely used emergency action aimed at reducing fishing mortality in the striped bass fishery. with the goal of increasing the chances of rebuilding the population to the biomass target by 2029. The Emergency Action will implement a maximum size limit of 31 inches on all recreational fishing (in the Chesapeake Bay and along the coast) with states mandated to implement the change by July 2, 2023. Minimum size limit, bag limit, seasons, and equipment restrictions will remain unchanged. The Board also initiated Schedule II, which will consider a more comprehensive management change using the formal public input process for implementation in 2024.

The Massachusetts delegation led the emergency action after population projections showed significant rebuilding headwinds stemming from four consecutive years of failed recruitment in the Chesapeake Bay and an increase in fishing mortality in 2022.

Striped bass are extremely important to coastal communities throughout the Atlantic and the entire fishing economy, estimated to generate $7.8 billion annually in economic production. The sport fishing industry values ​​the long-term sustainability of fishing while allowing for reasonable recreational fishing opportunities. We encourage states and ASMFC to work with sport fishing industry leaders on a communication plan to ensure that a mid-year management change in 2023 has the intended conservation benefits across all recreational fishing.

“The Board has signaled that it is prepared to act conservatively on striped bass to ensure rebuilding,” said Mike Waine, Director of Atlantic Fisheries Policy for the American Game Fishing Association. “It is hoped that taking emergency measures now pays dividends later so that we can avoid the additional use of short-term changes in regulations and instead focus on predictable and long-lasting management measures to provide stability to the most important fishery. and valuable in the mid-Atlantic and New England regions.

“Controlling fishing mortality along the entire coast is the key to rebuilding striped bass abundance to the levels the public expects and deserves,” said David Sikorski, executive director of CCA Maryland and Maryland legislative appointee to the board of management. striped bass “However, it is also important to recognize that striper recruitment issues related to successive poor spawning, coupled with an expanding population of blue catfish in the Chesapeake Bay, will continue to complicate the long-term trajectory of this iconic fishery.”

“There are certainly many factors at play that drive striped bass abundance over time, but fishing mortality is the only thing we can directly address in the striped bass management plan,” said Chris Horton, Senior Director of Fisheries Policy for the Congressional Sportsmen’s Association. Foundation, “While the increase in recreational taking in 2022 could be a good sign, based on recent stock assessments and the current state of the stock given the information we have available today, it is not surprising that ASMFC is erring on the side of caution and reduce mortality without reducing access to fishing.

“The TRCP appreciates that the Board is taking action to increase the chance of rebuilding the coastal ray population by 2029,” says Whit Fosburgh, president and CEO of Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership. “Active management to decrease fishing mortality, along with full consideration of the need for a healthy forage fish base and mitigation of the impacts of interactions with invasive species, are crucial elements in improving the chances of long-term stability. term of striped bass populations”.

The American Sport Fishing Association (ASA) is the trade association for the sport fishing industry committed to representing the interests of the sport fishing and boating industries, as well as the entire sport fishing community. We provide the industry and anglers with a unified voice when emerging laws and policies could significantly affect the sport fishing business or sport fishing itself. ASA invests in companies for the long term to ensure the industry remains strong and prosperous, as well as to safeguard and promote the enduring economic, conservation, and social values ​​of America’s sport fishing. ASA also gives America’s 55 million fishermen a voice in political decisions that affect their ability to fish sustainably in our nation’s waterways through Keep America Fishing, our national fisherman advocacy campaign. America’s fishermen generate more than $50 billion in retail sales with a $125 billion impact on the nation’s economy creating jobs for 825,000 people.

Colorado Supreme Court Considers Stream Access

BHA continues the fight for access to public water in the Centennial State

DENVER, Colo. – As the Colorado Supreme Court considers the Hill vs. Warsewaa lawsuit that has the potential to dramatically change public access to state waters, Backcountry Hunters & Anglers continues to fight for the interests of public land hunters, fishermen and others who depend on our shared lands and waters in Centennial State.

The proceedings now unfolding in the state supreme court are the latest step in plaintiff Roger Hill’s battle for legitimate access to his favorite fishing spot in a case that, by extension, could clarify the public’s right to access the state waterways.

BHA and two of its partners, the American Whitewater and the Colorado River Outfitters Association, have filed an amicus brief in the case. The brief argues that without the Hill case, Colorado will not be able to do what other western states have already done: really engage with the issue of navigability and open and maintain access opportunities to the public.

Don Holmstrom, a BHA member from Colorado, has been coordinating the chapter’s response to this important publicly accessible case and assists with court proceedings.

“BHA has taken steps to support Hill’s legal fight since the beginning of the litigation,” Holmstrom said. “A large part of Colorado’s outdoor economy depends on recreation related to public waters. Expanding access creates significant economic opportunities. Improved access to public water is also one of the best outdoor pathways for communities where recreational opportunities have historically been a challenge.”

Hill, a resident of Salida, Colo., has fished the Arkansas River in southern Colorado for decades.

“Defendant Roger Hill, an 81-year-old fly fisherman, has an actual, specific, and particular dispute with defendants Warsewa and Joseph (the ‘individual defendants’),” the complaint read. “Hill would like to return to his favorite fishing spot on the Arkansas River (the ‘River’) without risking violence, civil suit or arrest. But the Individual Defendants, who undisputedly own the land adjacent to the river, assaulted Hill with baseball-sized rocks and threatened to prosecute him for trespassing. The Individual Defendants even shot Hill’s friend who was fishing as he forded the disputed riverbed. As a result, Hill cannot safely return to the river to fish without first clarifying his rights and the rights of individual Defendants.”

To date, the State of Colorado has not affirmed the public’s right of access to the state’s waterways. Instead, the state has sided with private landowners who have taken extreme measures to block access from rivers and streams, including “deathtrap” metal obstacles, barbed wire, and other aggressive measures that place reenactors in dangerous situations. This “status quo” fails to recognize the importance of navigability and access to the tens of thousands of people who each year access Colorado’s rivers to fish, raft, or simply enjoy the natural beauty.

“American Whitewater advocates for the right and privilege of the public to float on the rivers that flow through public and private lands across the country,” said Hattie Johnson, American Whitewater’s director of stewardship in the Southern Rocky Mountains. “Mr. Hill’s case before the State Supreme Court provides an important opportunity for public river users to have a say in clarifying their rights to use our state’s incredible rivers.”

As this case continues, Backcountry Hunters & Anglers is committed to fighting for public access and the rights of hunters, fishermen, floaters, and recreationists across the country. For more information on the BHA’s position on Hill vs. Warsewaread the full writing.
