Sorry, should have been more clear. What are the parameters of the waters that constitute. ?........Long Island Sound I was assuming this was New York waters............and that the commercial and recreational New Yorkers would migrate to local waters
This notice serves as a reminder of the upcoming fall season closure required under Addendum XVII to the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission’s (Commission) American Lobster Fishery Management Plan which was approved in November 2011. The season closure applies to all Long Island Sound waters (LMA 6), extends from September 8 through November 28, inclusive, and applies to both recreational and commercial fisheries and all gears. Between those dates possession of lobsters taken from LMA 6 or from traps with LMA 6 trap tags is prohibited.
(Snip)
The objective of Addendum XVII’s season closure is to reduce exploitation (the percentage of animals fishing takes from the population annually) by 10% starting January 1, 2013 to help rebuild the broad Southern New England lobster stock, including the local Long Island Sound component. The Commission took this action in response to the low level of abundance and persistent low production of young lobsters seen over the past decade across the entire New England stock complex (southern Massachusetts to Virginia, including offshore waters).
