committee, headed by Michael Orbach,
were approved at a March 21
meeting in New Bern.
These include having the Division
of Marine Fisheries summarize
available information on menhaden
for the commissioners' study and approving
creation of an ad hoc advisory
board with broad representation
to advise the commission and
subcommittee on menhaden issues in
North Carolina.
The ad hoc group is to present its
first batch of recommendations on
menhaden at the Commission's June
14-15 meeting at Morehead City, in
time for any regulatory action taken
to go into effect for the fall season
that begins in October. These are to
relate to conflicts tliat stem from the
menhaden's multiple role as an industrial
fish and its popularity as bait
for sports fish.
A full set of recommendations

fall consideration, Costlow said.
Commission member Charles
Peterson told the fishermen the panel

all users affected by regulation of the
menhaden fishery. "I believe you
will see some sort of action," he said.
"I'd be shocked if you see nothing."
Disappearing?
Those favoring regulation of the
menhaden industry say that without
constraints, the menhaden will disappcar
in 10 to 15 years from overfishing.
North Carolina is the only South
Atlantic state that doesn't regulate
the industry, but Costlow said other
states liave regulated it for varying
reasons tluit nviy or may not apply to
North Carolina's fishery.

To encourage adoption of
menhaden regulations, area
legislators have introduced bills that
would limit pogey boats, in one instance,
to one-half mile off
Brunswick County shores, and in
another, three miles off the state's
entire coastline.
Industry spokesmen say keeping
fishermen three miles out would put
the industry out of business,
something both the legislators and
the fishermen say is not the intent of
regulation.
But, said Sam Long, president of
the New Hanover County Fishing
Club, "f think the impact would be
greater if the menhaden disappear.
"If the decline continues 10 to 15
years, you won't have to worry about
regulating the menhaden industry?there
won't be one.
"And what's worse," he added,
"there won't be any menhaden."
Standard Products Co. last year
closed the only menhaden processing
plant in Brunswick County. Standard
Products, Beaufort Fisheries and
Sea and Souilu rt'OCcSaing Cc. caCn
operate one plant at Beaufort.
According to a report prepared by
Mike Street of the N.C. Division of
Marine Fisheries for the Commission,
North Carolina was responsible
for 25.9 percent of the 1984 Atlantic
Coast menhaden harvest, with more
than 186 million pounds of fish. landings
were worth $4.7 million while
processed products were vaiueu at
about $7.9 million.
The staff summaries are to look at
the menhaden fishery in light of four
types of management options:
biological conservation; 2) economic
structure, condition and trends in the
industry; 3) forage and food chain inOrrock

and that Rivenbark had told her
about the promised job.
But, wrote Coward, Ms. Johnson's
credibility as a witness was "ir
reparably impeached" by contradicting
testimony in one instance by
three other employees. The agency,
she added, offered no ulterior motive
which might have influenced their
testimony.
"In light of the fct she ws not a permanent

Rivenbark first complained to the
social services board at u midNovember
1983 meeting with
Wayland Vercen. at that time board
chairman; Avery Bordeaux, the
board's attuniey. and Mrs. Varnam.

involving commercial
menhaden fishing.
"We have to be very clear what
about it we're regulating," said Orbach.
The commission's efforts were |
delayed, Costlow said, when it found
out that it didn't have the power to
appoint an ad hoc committee. A list
of persons recommended to serve on
the committee have since been forwarded
to Thomas Rhodes, state
secretary of Natural Resources and
Development, for consideration.

rick of Long Beach gave the Commis- i
sion a copy of a resolution adopted by
the Town of Ixng Beach that seeks a
ban on menhaden fishing from Bald
Head Island west to I^ockwood Folly
Inlet for a distance three miles offshore.
In fishermen's organized concern
about the state of the menhaden
fisherv. Billy Winn of Wilmington
said, the Commission was seeing
"the first stirrings of a sleeping
giant," sports fishermen's potentially
large political influence.
"We want you to have the strength
and intestinal fortitude to adopt the
regulations you know are needed,"
he said.
Dale McDowell, representing the
Brunswick County Fishing Club, also
told commissioners the ciub supports
establisment of a menhaden nurseryarea
between Bald Head Island and
Lockwood Folly Inlet, a one-mile
limit along the North Carolina coast
and a split season.
