MARINE FISHERIES COMMISSION TO MEET ABOUT GILL NET/SEA TURTLE ISSUES
MOREHEAD CITY – The N.C. Marine Fisheries Commission will meet Feb. 18 in New Bern to discuss issues related to a proposed gill net closure.
The meeting is set for 1 p.m. at the New Bern Riverfront Convention Center, 203 S. Front St., New Bern.
The commission will take public comments regarding a proposed May 15-Dec 15 closure of large-mesh gill net fishing in most inshore waters of the state south of Oregon Inlet. The division has proposed the closure to address a notification from the National Marine Fisheries Service of unauthorized takes of threatened and endangered sea turtles that have been observed in the large mesh gill net fishery in state waters.
