Federal Regulations more or less permit only American fishing vessels to commercial fish in the EEZ unless a foreign company is part American owned or partnered.
Some species, such as stripers are only allowed to be fished for in state waters and not in the EEZ, rec or comm. There is some talk about opening up striped bass fishing in the EEZ to comm and rec for the entire EEZ or the EEZ out to 12 miles.
Some areas have wierd rules such as a triangle that extends around Block Island to Pt Jude and areas like the Long Island Sound and around Fishers.
