October 2013

October 30, 2013:  Virginia Marine Resources Commission Associate Commissioner Ken Neill has received the prestigious 2014 International Game Fish Association Representative Conservation Award for this many years of contributions to tagging studies and sample collection efforts.  Of the dozens of scientific projects he has assisted aboard his boat, Healthy Grin, Dr. Neill says some of the most rewarding are the ones that led directly to fishery management decisions, such as Atlantic Bluefin Tuna tissue sampling and tagging that helped scientists better understand the relationships between the western and eastern stocks of that species.  Since 1993, the IGFA has been recognizing superlative achievements in fishing conservation with annual conservation awards.  Dr. Neill was appointed to the Commission in July 2013 by Governor Bob McDonnell.  <International Game Fish Association>

October 22, 2013:  The Virginia Marine Resources Commission voted unanimously today against a proposal to reopen the blue crab winter dredge fishery in a limited, tightly controlled pilot program that would not have increased the overall crab harvest.  The Commission sited low stock abundance, an anemic crab harvest so far this year, and opposition from the public and from commercial crab potters as factors in their decision to shelve the proposal for the time being.  The Commission did vote unanimously to extend this year’s crab pot season until Dec. 15, for the harvest of both male and female crabs, with a reduction in the daily bushel limit next year to off-set the increased fall harvest. <Meeting Summary>

October 21, 2013: 
Effective 12:01 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, Monday, November 11, 2013, the Directed Virginia Offshore Summer Flounder Fishery will re-open for vessels with a Virginia Summer Flounder Endorsement License.  The 2013 commercial offshore quota allocation was 2,438,592 pounds.  Virginia landings through October 16 total 1,946,208 pounds.  The available remaining offshore summer flounder quota is projected to be 650,000 pounds.  Please review the Opening Notice for more information.

October 17, 2013:  A 311-pound bigeye tuna, caught on September 25th by Vic Gaspeny, of Tavernier, FL, has been certified as the new Virginia State Record by the Virginia Saltwater Fishing Tournament. Gaspeny’s catch surpasses the existing record of 285 pounds and 12 ounces, caught 10 years earlier in August 2003 by Melvin Bray of Dumfries, VA.  Gaspeny made his record-setting catch off Virginia Beach, at the Norfolk Canyon, while fishing with Captain Justin Wilson aboard the charter vessel Just Right.  Gaspeny, a well respected light tackle fishing guide and outdoor writer, operates out of Bud N’ Mary’s Marina in Islamorada, FL, where he is best known for his ability to put clients on tarpon.  Gaspeny also helped pioneer "day dropping" for swordfish off the Florida coast and in the process caught his 200th swordfish last July. <Press Release>

September 2013

September 26, 2013:  The Virginia Marine Police will combat oyster theft by air, land and sea in an intensive effort to crush what has become an epidemic of poaching.  The public oyster season opens tomorrow, Oct. 1.  The Commission comes armed to this fight with a renewed commitment to revoking violators’ commercial fishing licenses and with a new tool: Revocation of all saltwater fishing privileges, as allowed by a new state law that went into effect on July 1.  The Commission recently adopted new sanction guidelines that call for the revocation of commercial fishing licenses for even a single egregious offense.  This is a tougher standard from prior guidelines, which called for a license suspension hearing on a third court conviction of fishery regulations within a calendar year. <Press Release> <New Sanction Guidelines> <Law Enforcement Subcommittee Report>

September 26, 2013:  This memorandum is to inform states that the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) will close the blacknose, non-blacknose small coastal shark, large coastal shark and hammerhead shark fisheries on September 30, 2013. Therefore, in accordance with Section 4.3.4, Quota Specification, of the Interstate Fisheries Management Plan for Atlantic Coastal Sharks (FMP), effective 11:30 p.m. local time September 30, 2013, states are required to prohibit the commercial landing, harvest, and possession of these shark species.  State water commercial fisheries for these shark species will reopen when the NMFS reopens federal waters for commercial fishing.  ASMFC will issue notice of the opening dates once they become available in the 2014 shark quotas and seasons final rule. <Memorandum>

September 24, 2013:  The Virginia Marine Resources Commission today sent a clear signal it will have no tolerance for oyster poaching, or other serious oyster violations, and unanimously voted to revoke the commercial fishing licenses of three watermen who were convicted of repeated oyster violations for two years, the maximum allowed under state law.  The Commission also suspended the commercial fishing licenses of two other watermen for one year, followed by a year of probation, for repeated oyster violations.  In fact, Commissioner Travelstead said he intended to vote in the future in keeping with a state law, section 28.2-528 of the Code of Virginia, that requires six month to one year license revocations for anyone convicted of unlawfully taking oysters.  He said the Commission takes no pleasure in revoking licenses but will do what is necessary to curb the theft of oyster stocks that have rebounded in recent years. <Meeting Summary>

August 2013

August 29, 2013:  The Secretary of Natural Resources and Commissioner Jack Travelstead have approved new operating hours for the Virginia Marine Resources Commission's main office, 2600 Washington Ave., Newport News.  Effective Thursday, August 29th, our main office's hours of operation will be 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday.  Friday hours of operation will be 8:00 a.m. with closing at 2:30 p.m. 

August 28, 2013:  A skeptical Virginia Marine Resources Commission has agreed to consider reopening the winter crab dredge fishery, which has been closed for stock-rebuilding purposes since 2008, provided a reopened dredge fishery is with a limited number of participants, in a tightly controlled and enforced manner, performed on mud bottoms in order to limit damage to the environment and crab stocks, with maximum allowable landings of 1.5 million pounds of crab.  Every pound of crab landed in that fishery would be offset by substantial reductions in the daily bushel limits on crab potters the rest of the year so that the overall crab harvest level does not increase.  The Commission voted unanimously to advertise for a public hearing and vote at its Oct. 22 meeting, after the public weighs in and all licensed commercial crab potters are surveyed for their input. <Meeting Summary>

August 21, 2013:  The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission’s Spiny Dogfish and Coastal Sharks Management Board has approved Draft Addendum III to the Atlantic Coastal Sharks Fishery Management Plan for public comment.

April 19, 2013:  The annual scientific winter dredge survey of the bay-wide blue crab population shows a mixed bag of good, and not-so-good, news that may result in a slight tightening of commercial harvest restrictions.  The overall abundance of blue crabs dropped precipitously, from 765 million to 300 million crabs.  This was because the number of juvenile crabs plummeted from 581 million to a mere 111 million.  This reduction in abundance was not a result of overfishing and may have been caused by increased predation and other factors. <Press Release>

April 15, 2013: The Virginia Marine Resources Commission has adopted a new fee schedule for oyster ground applications, transfers, recording, assignment, restaking and surveying, effective May 1, 2013. These fees have not been adjusted since at least 1998. <Fee Schedule>

February 26, 2013: 
The Virginia Marine Resources Commission has lowered the recreational flounder size limits for the fourth year in a row, from 16.5 to 16 inches.  This allows anglers to keep more of the fish they catch and reduces the flounder size limit to its lowest level in more than a decade, since 2001. <Meeting Summary>

February 13, 2013:  The Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council has awarded Marine Resources Commissioner Jack Travelstead with the prestigious Ricks E Savage Award, which has been bestowed only seven times.  The Council was established in 1976, and is responsible for management of fisheries in federal waters off the Mid-Atlantic coast.  Council Chairman Rick Robins presented the award on Feb. 13, noting that Commissioner Travelstead’s work on the Council began 32 years ago, not long after the Council was formed.  He said the Commissioner has been "a true leader and a diplomat for a generation of fishery managers.  He has set a very high standard."

February 7, 2013: Online registration for the Fisherman Identification Program (FIP) is open. Toll-free, call-in registration is also available. Saltwater anglers who do not need to buy a license under state law must register for free and supply their contact information before they fish every year. Anglers who buy a saltwater fishing license will be automatically registered. The intent is to create a Virginia-wide "phone book" of saltwater anglers, which will be given to the National Marine Fisheries Service in order to improve fishing effort surveys and to exempt Virginia anglers from having to sign up directly with the National Saltwater Angler Registry and pay the annual $15 federal registration fee. Anglers that registered last year must register again this year; registrations are valid for one year from date of issuance. If you provided a valid email when you last registered a renewal notice will be sent 14 days prior to expiration. Please keep your FIP number with you while fishing. The free FIP registration is not a substitute for a license when the angler is required by law to purchase and hold a saltwater license. <FIP Information Page with Online Registration>

January 2013

January 31, 2013:  Anglers registered 6,071 trophy-size fish for Citation awards during the 55th Annual Virginia Saltwater Fishing Tournament that ran from January 1st through December 31st 2012.  This was only the eighth time anglers had achieved 6,000 or more Citations in any year since the Tournament began in 1958. <Press Release>

January 22, 2013:  The Virginia Marine Resources Commission has approved an expansive program to plant oyster shells on a variety of public oyster grounds, anticipating a $2 million influx of funds through Governor Robert McDonnell’s proposed 2014 state budget.  If approved by the Virginia General Assembly, this would be the largest appropriation for oyster replenishment in state history.  The oyster harvest has increased ten-fold over the past decade, and every $1 spent on oyster replenishment yields $7 in economic benefit when the oysters grow to market size and are harvested. <Meeting Summary>
