We unpack the proposed 12% striped bass mortality cut, why “closure” likely means a short seasonal window, and how flawed MRIP effort estimates are steering the debate. We compare regional impacts by month, weigh status quo against quick fixes, and argue for better data, smarter timing, and real habitat work.
• What a seasonal closure actually means and when it would land
• Why MRIP effort overestimates cast doubt on a 12% cut
• Spawning stock biomass context and the 1995 comparison
• Regional wave closures and uneven impacts by state
• Harvest vs release mortality and circle hook credit gaps
• Chesapeake, Hudson, and Delaware recruitment uncertainty
• Bunker abundance, migration shifts, and shark depredation
• Bonus tags, commercial quotas, and cross-state consistency
• Enforcement realities, court follow-through, and compliance
• Tagging tech limits, acoustic arrays, and funding needs
• Vote timing, state politics, and what happens next
