North Carolina can make powerful strides in its fisheries management if a new bill is passed granting much-needed gamefish status to red drum, speckled trout and striped bass. Although these species make up less than 2% of the state’s commercial harvest their value to the recreational fishery, state businesses, and tourism are enormous.
In the last twenty years state after state has protected these particular fish from commercial netting and overharvest. NC, however, has bucked that trend and stood alone while watching our stocks of these vital fish shipped to out of state fish markets, despite their relative unimportance to commercial fishing and their utmost importance to a healthy recreational industry.
Gamefish bill would be economic win for NC
