Fisheries Commissioner Explains
Department Operations to Speakers
C. Gerhrmann Holland assistant
I is he nes commissioner. recently
spoke ip Raleigh, explaining the
functions of lb* commercial fish
erie? division.
He yim one of seven depart
mental beads of the Board of Con
servation and Development to ex
plain (unctions ot their depart
meats to members of a recently
formed P4>D Speakers Bureau
The text of Commissioner Hol
land's talk follows:
The Division of Commercial
fisheries, one of the units of our
state government, located in More
head City has a wel| thought out
program. To us is charged the pro
jection of the state's marine re
sources which consist of aquatic
plants and animals. It is our re
sponsibility to protect, safeguard
and promote the sources of liveli
hood of sortie 35.000 fishermen and
their families in the 21 coaslal
counties and at the same time to
protect and safeguard the interest
of the citizens of the entire State
of North Carolina all of whom
have the same equity in our natural
resources as do the fishermen
themselves.
Laws Not Enough
I have only been connected with
this department approximately two
months, but I have been with the
seafood industry all my life. Some
times mere laws are not sufficient,
particularly where there has been
a serious over-harvesting of a fish
ery. This has happened in the
case of the oyster and it is neces
sary in this instance not only to
protect whatis there but to take
steps to relflfeilitate our old oyster
beds and to make three oysters
grow where we get one now.
Oyster spat or the larva oyster
needs to attach itself to something
at a very early stage in its life or
it will die. One of the best ma
terials for this to attach is oyster
shell itself. Each year the state
collects oyster shells from the
sfiuckers, who are required by law
to return half of their shells to
the state which plant them in thp
oyster procjucing areas. We then
close the beds for three years, the
normal time required for oysters
to grow marketable size. Young
spat settle on the oyster shells and
grow to mature oysters.
We have this year a striking ex
ample of what can be done in this
respect. Three years ago the state
planted 50,000 bushels of oyster
shells in Shell Bay. The area was
closed and guarded. In December
1953 the beds were opened to the
public. During the first three days
of ' dredglnfe, 10,000 bushels of
oysters were removed. This bed
will produce a normal supply of
oysters for the remainder of this
year. During 1953 the state plant
ed 120,000 bushels of oyster shells
which should give about the same
unit returns as the Shell Bay plant.
Shrimp Harvest Large
The harvest of shrimp for 1953
was tremendous and we would
benefit greatly if we would in
North Carolina process this deli
cious seafood product into breaded

Deadline for Getting Tags
The deadline for getting state
license tags is Jan. 30, next Satur
day. To date 3,363 tags have been
sold in Carteret County.
This total is broken down as fol
lows: 2,729 auto, three motorcycle,
389 private truck, 66 farm truck,
168 Class Z trailer, and 28 Class C
trailer.
Class Z trailers are those having
two wheela and Class C trailers are
those having four.
Approximately 4,000 tags were
sold in the county last year. It is
estimated that at least 700 have to
get their tags before the deadline.

regulations regardir "? the taking
and s? ? 1 1 i n k of these seafoods.
Our enforcement consists of an
assistant commissioner, super
visors, inspectors and patrol boat
crews. All our laws and regula
tions are not good. Many are out
of date: some were put on the
books at a time when our knowl
edge of the fisheries was not as
complete as it is now. Gradually
we are eliminating the outmoded
and unnecessary laws and bringing
our regulations up to date and in
line with realities and sound con
servation.
We have adopted a policy of
making no new regulations except
when the conservation of the spe
cies or the total economy requires
it; vc are removing as rapidly as
possible those laws and regulations
which do not have a cleat cut bear

In this program we have the in
