Most notably items 4 and 5. This is the first that I am aware of any states looking to open their herring runs back up for harvest. The SB one I still don't understand why there is even a difference for shore vs boat based harvest.

4. Opening Individual River Herring Runs (322 CMR 6.17). This proposed regulation would provide DMF with the authority to open individual rivers to the harvest of river herring if they have an ASMFC approved sustainability management plan and specific permitting, harvest and identification requirements. The Nemasket River may be the first run to potentially open under this authority.
5. Clarification on Commercial Striped Bass Limits (322 CMR 6.07). This proposed amendment would limit all shore-based commercial fishing activity to a 2-fish limit. The 15-fish commercial striped bass limit will apply only to the holders of vessel based permits while fishing from the vessel named on the permit.
