Macjoe,
The size limits will be enforced in the state where the fish are brought to.
In other words, if 2 Mass boats head to the EEZ, 1 rec and 1 com, then the rec boat could keep a couple 28'' fish for each angler, however, the commercial boat could still only bring back fish that are over 34''
Again, since the comercial fishery is bound by a hard quota, opening the EEZ would be a conservation neutral reg.
This was all stated at the EEZ scoping meetings which is why it is so important to attend them.
I hope this helps,
Mike Flaherty
