Welcome back to another episode of Fishereis Gone Wild, hosted by CCA NC Executive Director David Sneed. This episode dives into the upcoming Marine Fisheries Commision meeting November 16-18, 2022. The MFC will be voting on Amendment 2 to the Estuarine Striped Bass FMP. Within this plan, the commision will vote to either continue the gill net ban on the Neuse, Tar and Pamlico rivers above the ferry lines or vote to allow the nets back in the water. This gill net ban has been in place to protect the Striped Bass and allow the species to reach a sustainable spawning biomass to continue to rebuild the population. This upcoming MFC meeting November 16-18 is by far one of the most important meetings and we need your voice to show up and speak for the resource more than ever!!!

Tight Lines!

Welcome back to another episode of Fisheries Gone Wild with CCA NC. This week we invite our good freind Pat Donovan Brandenburg with the city of Jacksonville to join us as we dicuss how water quality and habitat play a major role in having healthy and sustainable fisheries. Pat has built her career around restoring and cleaning up the New River, from the late 1980s to 2001 the New River was closed to commercial and recreational uses. Since 2001 due to Pat, her staff and many partners the New River has remained open and water quality continues to improve. Listen in as Pat covers the past, present and furture of the condition of the New River and how the Oyster Highway played a pivitol role in the cleanup effort. This is a true success story and Pat has been able to see all of her hard work become a reality. CCA NC is glad to have played a role in the restoration process.

We are excited to be back with another episode of Fisheries Gone Wild with our host David Sneed the Executive Director of CCA NC along side Chairmen of our fisheries committee Stuart Creighton.
