Now I have a question here hopefully someone will have an answer. The public info meetings held at the beginning of the week reflect potential changes of our existing regs that Mass applies within the guidelines set forth by the ASMFC, right? Well, is this pertaining to this year? So re-opening the comercial season for another near 200K pounds and allowing 2 (1over 40) for the remainder of this year? Again - this all only applies to this year, correct?
As Ammendment 6 is to be implemented next year and would have significantly different cosatwide rules & regs that differ from what we have today. Here is a link to the public draft of Ammendment 6... Comments taken until Oct 2002. To be implemented 1/1/2003
