Fishermen Seek Permit Tweaks for Rule-Bending Experiments

Summary
Fishing groups like the Coonamessett Farm Foundation want to change and extend a special fishing permit that lets them try new fishing methods outside usual rules. The government checked their request and thinks it’s worth a closer look. This could affect certain fishing boats soon, with updates coming on timing and rules to keep things fair and fun on the water.

Temporary Exemption for Some Fishing Vessels
If you own a federally permitted fishing vessel, an application from the Coonamessett Farm Foundation to modify and extend an Exempted Fishing Permit (EFP) has been preliminarily accepted for further consideration. If the EFP is granted, those vessels could fish outside the usual fishery regulations to carry out the proposed exempted fishing activities.
