I didn't mention above, but the Party-Charter Control Date was established at the last meeting of the Council as Feb. 1, 2006. Right now, it means nothing.
But the intent is that, at a future time, the council could refuse entry to new party/charter boats not holding permits issued before the date to fish for groundfish in federal waters. In effect, it can create a limited-entry for Cod & Haddock after the control date.
