State Marine Fishinq Forum In Raleigh
Conflict crops up almost anytime
a natural resource is being shared by
competing users. It flares on coastal
waters, where commercial and re
creational fishermen cast nets and
lines, and in the halls of Congress,
where lawmakers hammer out allo
cation laws.
Third District Congressman H.
Martin 'Lancaster will offer his per
spective on both at the N.C. Marine
Recreational Fishing Forum, whose
focus this year is on finding com
mon ground between the feuding
camps of commercial and recre
ational fishermen.
I he forum will take place Feb. 19
from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. in Raleigh's

cries management subcommittee of
the Merchant Marine and Fisheries
Committee, will take part in several
major fisheries decisions this year,
including the reauthorization of the
Magnuson Act. says forum organiz
er Jim Murray, director of the N.C.
Sea Grant Marine Advisory Service.
In recent years, fisheries manage
ment issues have been dominated by
the struggle between recreational
and commercial fishermen. Murray
says these disputes prompted the
conciliatory focus of this year's fo
rum. which he says he hopes will
draw people from both camps.
" 1'here are a variety ol conflicts
related to allocation, hut there are a
number of ways recreational and
commercial fishermen can work to
gether because they have a lot in
common, such as water quality,
habitat preservation and mainte
nance of stocks," he says. "And
there arc some ways that ihcv can
work together more effectively."
Other scheduled talks include:
?Changes in the N.C. Marine
Fisheries Commission and issues for
1994, by Bob Lucas, chairman of
the commission;
?Activities of the Joint legis
lative Study Commission on Sea
food and Aquaculture. by State Rep.
E. David Redwine, 14th District, co
chairman of the study commission;
?f inding the common ground in
recreational and commercial fishing
conflicts, by Jeff Johnson and David
Griffith, associate professors at the

Resources. East Carolina University;
?Panel discussions on use alloca
tion at Hatteras Point/Pond and tools

flicts;

Preventive medicine for fisheries
disputes, by Hi!! Foster, a commer
cial fisherman and member of the

?Professional mediation, by An
drew Sachs, coordinator of the
Public Disputes Center.
The forum will also revisit the is
sue of a recreational saltwater fish
ing license, the topic of last year's
meeting. This event will offer an op
portunity for fishermen to learn
about the latest in fisheries research
and manauement and to air their
own views.

Brunswick Closed
To Shellfishermen
All coastal waters in Brunswick
County remained closed to shellfish
harvesting Tuesday following heavy
rainfall over the weekend.
The N.C. Division of Marine
Fisheries closed all shellfishing ar
eas between Southport and the
South Carolina state line on Sunday.
The temporary closure is due to
rainfall and stormwater runoff,
which can carry bacterial pollution
into streams and rivers and make
oysters and clams unsafe to eat.
The closure also affected Carteret,
Onslow and Pender counties.
