2022 Fishing Year Starts May 1, 2022
Recreational measures for cod and haddock will remain unchanged for the start of the 2022 fishing year. The New England Fishery Management Council has recommended changes to recreational Gulf of Maine cod and haddock measures, and included changes to recreational Georges Bank cod measures in Framework 63; however, regulatory actions considering those changes are still pending.
As a result, 2021 recreational and for-hire regulations for Northeast multispecies (groundfish) stocks will remain in effect. Changes recommended by the Council may be implemented later in the 2022 fishing year.
A summary of the current regulations for recreational and for-hire vessels harvesting groundfish is available online.
