Commission Studying Moratorium On Fishiny Licenses BY DOUG RUTTER I that deals with seafood may ask the General Assembly to place a two year moratorium on inc issuance ot commercial fishing licenses during the upcoming short session. State Rep. David Redwine of Ocean Isle Beach, co-chairman of the Joint Legislative Commission on Seafood and Aquaculture, said Tuesday he thinks the panel will rec ommend a freeze once the details have T*y*r! awfed cut. "Everyone I've talked to, includ ing the commercial fishermen, thinks it's a good idea," Redwine said. "The idea of havino a rnnratn ' " ? 0 ~ * riura I'm convinced is a good idea." The legislative commission dis cussed the proposal and heard from state fisheries officials and commer cial fishermen during its meeting last Thursday in Wilmington, Red wine said. "tib. t ? > ? 1 ? i k ??v w?wi % ivwa wv imm viivu^n information at that meeting to do anything," Redwine said, adding that the group could take actios st its May 11 meeting in Raleigh. By then, Redwine said the N.C. Division of MaliuC ! iaucnca auuuiu have more information for the com uuaskrii oc the =f =heii?? sai crab licenses and a freeze on "ma jor" commercial fishing regulations. Fishermen now pay $15 for a shellfish and crab license. Redwine the N.C Marine Fisheries Com mission has suggested the shellfish and crab licenses be separated and fishermen be charged $15 for each. "That concerned me, doubling the cost like that," Redwine said. Redwine also said the legislative commission needs more information on a proposed freeze on the adoption of "major" regulations during the two-year moratorium. "vuu ri/tM whs* is ccnsid cicu major ana what is considered minor and that needs to be clari fied," Reihviee said. "With those kinds of questions still unanswered we decided not to ?cCOiuuicuu atiy tiling thai uay," he added. TV Marine Fisheries Comnsis sion (MFC) last month recommend ed a two-year freeze on the issuance of commercial licenses.

"This move will enable the divi sion to look at the amount of gear in the water and the number of people involved in different fisheries," N.C Fisheries Director Bill Hogarth said last month. Said MFC Chairman Bob Lucas, "We've got to go in a new direction. rrt ssVs gc-i is be bold. The ok! sys tem will not work, and we have got to find a better one." The proposed moratorium has bees endorsed fey a 42-yasd-old trade group that represents the state's commcrcial fishermen, seafood dealers and processors. In an April 27 letter to the joint r legislative commission, the N.C fisheries Association (Nv-rA) askcu the group to recommend a two-year freeze to the Genera! Assembly dur ing the upcoming session. The association also requested that during the two-year period, no new major regulations be considered by the Marine Fisheries Commis sion, said NCFA Executive Director Jerry Schill. "This time limit will allow us to work with the slate s regulatory ?jf?cy fn wnrK on a irma-trrm nlan to effectively conserve our fisheries resources, as well as preserve our coastal commercial fishing families and heritage," Schi!! ?aid Schili said most commercial fish ing licenses are held by recreational anglers, and there are concerns about the number of licenses being sold to fishermen moving to North Carolina due io reaincdaaB in ihcii boom states. "The (NCFA) board simply feels that the present system is broken and it needs to be fixed," Schill said. "While NCFA commits time and resources on coming up with solu uuu?, wc ibu iaink it's ooiy righi that a moratorium alto be placed on any new major regulations during that period so we can place our ener gies on real solutions to solving the fisheries management dilemma."
