🇺🇸 Atlantic state Spiny Dogfish Shark quota cut to 12 million lbs by @ASMFC for next season (May 1 start). The nearly 60% reduction stems from declining trends in abundance, CPUE, pup production & growth. @NOAAFish_NEFSC stock assessment is set for June: asmfc.org/uploads/file/63dbc…

U.S. Passes Federal Drift Gillnet Legislation. Driftnets were banned in California in 2018 after a campaign begun by Rob Stewart, who screened footage that showed the destruction they caused. This current bill expands the legislation to federal waters across the U.S. #RobStewart
