Mackerel.
Seeking D
A local charter boat captain appointed
as the area representative
for the state's king mackerel
fishermen is seeking contributions to
cover court costs.
Gary Carr of Holden Beach, said
mackerel fishermen are looking to
collect about $2,500 to cover legal
fees defending the appeal of a lawsuit
which earlier resulted in the temporarary
opening of the king
mackerel season.
Arguing that annual quotas had
been reached, the National Marine
Fisheries Sendee closed the recreational
season in October and announced
plans to close the commercial
king mackerel harvest in late
November.
Trawling Ban
Takes Effect
A prohibition took effect last week
on the use of trawls for the harvest of
snapper and grouper in offshore
waters.
Approved last year by the South
Atlantic Fishery Management Council
(SAFMC) and the U.S. Secretary
of Commerce, the trawl prohibition
took effect last Thursday in federal
waters between Cape Hatteras and
Cape Canaveral, Fla. Federal waters
are those from three to 200 miles offshore.
The ban was approved to prevent
habitat damage which occurs as
trawl gear passes over live bottom
habitat on the ocean floor and to prevent
the harvest of undersized fish,
particularly vermillion snapper, according
to a SAFMC news release.

Following the filing of a lawsuit
concerning the closure, however, a
district court judge issued a temporary
restraining order extending
both the recreational and commercial
king mackerel seasons. That
order is still in effect, but cost
fishermen $10,000 in legal fees.
Ed Wolfe, a fisherman from Wilmington
who lead the way in filing the
lawsuit on behalf of North Carolina
fishermen, appointed Carr to help
collect the additional legal fees which
will be used in an appeal of the suit by
the Secretary of Comim rce.
Checks can be made payable to
"N.C. Mackerel Fishermen" and
mailed to Carr at 108 Greensboro St.,
Holden Beach, NC 28462.

Improved protection of the most
important shellfish resources along
the North Carolina coast is a primary
goal of George Everett, who later
this year will become director of the
state Division of Coastal Management.
Everett, currently deputy director
of the N.C. Division of Environmental
Management, will replace David
Owens, the outgoing eoastai management
director.
Owens resigned last week to take a
faculty post at the University of
North Carolina at ChaDel Hill.
Owens' new position, which is subject
to approval of the UNC Board of
Trustees, will be in land planning
with the Institute of Government,
said Don Follmer, public affairs
director of the state Department of
Natural Resources and Community
Development.
He said the 118-year-old Owens will
continue as coastal management
director for approximately five more
weeks. A former assistant director,
Owens has directed the division for
the past five years and has been with
state government for nearly 11 years.
His annual salary is $52,668.
Follmer said the new director will
probably earn $50,268 per year, the
starting salary for the post.
Everett, 41, lias worked in the N.C.
Division of Environmental Management
for about eight years, serving
as chief of its water quality section
before becoming deputy director. He
was appointed to the coastal manager_

spend some effort throughout the ?
department to identify which are the f

The regulation of water pollution
outside of the coastal counties also needs
to be improved, he added, emphasizing
that inland water sources
utimately affect water quality along
the coast.
"I don't think we've done
everything we need to do in the 20
coastal counties or in the areas outside
which impact those coastal
areas," he said. "There's a lot of impact
