SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
recreational fishery for Atlantic
migratory group cobia is scheduled to
close on June 20, 2016. The closure
applies to those fishing for cobia
recreationally in federal waters from
Georgia to New York from a private
vessel, charter vessel, or headboat. The
closure is the result of accountability
measures required by federal regulations
to protect the cobia resource and
prevent overfishing. The 2015
recreational catch was 1,540,775
pounds, 123% over the recreational
Annual Catch Limit (ACL) of 690,000
pounds.
The scheduled recreational closure
has caused concerns from fishermen,
particularly those from North Carolina
and Virginia where the closure will
have negative economic and social
impacts due to the seasonality of the
fishery. As a result, the two Councils
will host a Cobia Q&A public meeting
to provide information and help address
questions and concerns. Council staff
will give a presentation that includes an
overview of the Council federal
management process, historical
management of cobia, and information
about current cobia management and
the pending recreational closure. The
presentation will also include an
overview of future management actions
for cobia currently under consideration
by the South Atlantic Council. Council
staff and area Council members will be
available to answer questions following
the presentation.
