FF-53-2007 RE: TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF RULE – RIVER HERRING Dr. Louis B. Daniel III, Director, Division of Marine Fisheries, hereby announces that effective at 12:01A.M., Sunday, September 9, 2007, the following shall apply to North Carolina Fisheries Rules for North Carolina Coastal Waters: 1. North Carolina Fisheries Rules for Coastal Waters 15A NCAC 3M .0513 is modified by the suspension of the wording in (b) in its entirety. GENERAL INFORMATION: A. This proclamation is issued under the authority of N.C.G.S. 113-170.4; 113-170.5; 113-182;113-221.1; 143B-289.52 and N.C. Marine Fisheries Rules 15A NCAC 3H .0103, 3I .0102 and 3M .0513. B. It is unlawful to violate the provisions of any proclamation issued by the Fisheries Director under his delegated authority pursuant to N.C. Marine Fisheries Rule 15A NCAC 3H .0103. C. This action temporarily suspends Marine Fisheries Rule 15A NCAC 3M .0513 (b) and (d). All other provisions of this rule remain in effect. D. The Marine Fisheries Commission has recommended a no harvest measure as a result of the River Herring (Blueback Herring and Alewife) Fishery Management Plan that differs from those limits in the present rule. This temporary suspension is necessary to implement a more restrictive no harvest measure in all joint and coastal fishing waters of the state. E. The Director will implement commercial and recreational harvest limits in a subsequent proclamation issued under his authority pursuant to 15A NCAC .0513 (a). This Proclamation supersedes FF-44-2007, dated June 27, 2007.
