    Location: Pinellas Point | East Coast - Summer Flounder, Scup and Black Sea Bass Limits Announced
NOAA Fisheries has issued rebuilding harvest limits for the 2008 commercial and recreational summer flounder , scup, and black sea bass fisheries. These fisheries are currently overfished, and this final rule imposes strict measures to ensure sustainable management. Additionally, these measures will end overfishing in the summer flounder fishery. The total landings for summer flounder in 2008 will be 15.7 million pounds, 7.3 million pounds of scup, and 4.2 million pounds of black sea bass. The rule provides state allocations, recreational and commercial allocations, and details on measures to improve conservation of these three species.
