Follow fight for gamefish protection of coastal fisheries on special Web page

Keep up with the fight for protection for red drum, speckled trout and stripers on the special Gamefish Section on NorthCarolinaSportsman.com

Special section follows Saltwater Review Committee’s actions on redfish, speckled trout, stripers.

The North Carolina legislature has charged the Saltwater Review Committee with making changes to the way the Tarheel State’s saltwater fisheries are managed, and nearly every fisherman plying coastal rivers, sounds, bays and beaches could feel the effects of these decisions for years to come.

That’s why NorthCarolinaSportsman.com debuts a special Gamefish Section dedicated to keeping the state’s anglers abreast of everything involving the committee, its members, and individuals or groups involved in the fight to protect the speckled trout, redfish and striper fisheries.

NorthCarolinaSportsman.com users can check this section for regular updates on the issues the Saltwater Review Committee is discussing, including changes in the makeup of the North Carolina Marine Fisheries Commission, the possible folding of the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries into the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, the prohibition of trawling in inshore waters, plus the management of certain species, particularly redfish, speckled trout and striped bass.

The section also will include interviews with legislators and leaders of conservation groups involved in the battle to gain gamefish status for these valuable saltwater fisheries.
