Commercial Cobia Fishery Closure: 12:01 a.m. Sept. 5, 2018
The commercial fishery for cobia in Maryland
state waters will close at 12:01 a.m. Sept. 5, 2018, and reopen at 12:01 a.m. Jan.
1, 2019.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries estimates that the Atlantic cobia
commercial quota will be caught by Sept. 5, 2018. Therefore, federal
waters will also close to the commercial harvest of cobia 12:01 a.m. Sept. 5, 2018, and reopen at 12:01 a.m. Jan. 1, 2019.
Maryland is taking this action to comply with
the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission Interstate Management Plan for
Atlantic Migratory Group Cobia.
