The Maine Department of Marine Resources has issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking:
Chapter 34: Groundfish; Recreational Cod and Haddock [ [link removed] ]
________________________________________________________________________
Brief Summary: On July 27, 2024, DMR adopted an emergency rule to align state recreational fishing regulations for Gulf of Maine cod and haddock with those adopted by NOAA Fisheries in federal waters. DMR is proposing to adopt the emergency rule as part of its regular rules. Consistent with the existing emergency rule, this proposal would maintain the existing season and bag limit for cod but modify the size limit to 23 inches. For haddock, the rulemaking maintains the season but standardizes recreational measures across sectors with a 15 fish possession limit and a minimum size of 18 inches.
Date, time and location of PUBLIC HEARING ("if any"): None scheduled
