Thank you for your recent correspondence regarding striped bass harvest occurring off the coast of North Carolina.

State jurisdiction extends out to three miles offshore in the Atlantic Ocean and federal jurisdiction runs from three to 200 miles offshore. This includes the federal area of jurisdiction, the Exclusive Economic Zone or the EEZ. The striped bass harvest you discuss is occurring in the EEZ, and falls under the jurisdiction of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).

Please know we take fishery resource violations seriously and work closely with management partners at the local, state and federal levels. We have forwarded your inquiry to NMFS law enforcement. If you would like to contact NMFS directly regarding this matter, please contact NMFS Enforcement Agent Joe Wilson at joe.wilson@noaa.gov

THERE IS THE GUY TO COMPLAIN TO.
