Striped Bass Stakeholders

The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission has scheduled a Striped Bass Board meeting on December 16 to consider Board action. This is in response to results of the 2024 Stock Assessment which indicate the stock remains overfished. Projections suggest a less than 50% chance of rebuilding the stock by 2029 as fishing mortality is expected to increase as the 2018 year-class enters the slot. Maine DMR will be hosting a webinar meeting on Tuesday, December 10 at 6pm to provide an overview of the management options and receive stakeholder comments. While not a formal public hearing, this is an opportunity for stakeholders to provide their feedback to the Department on preferred management alternatives. Information to connect to the ME DMR webinar is below.
