Commercial Fishers: Possible Limit Changes
On June 9, 2026, a webinar will review bluefish commercial fishery performance and develop the 2026 Fishery Performance Report. That report will be used when reviewing the previously implemented 2027 bluefish catch and landings limits and commercial management measures, and could lead to changes that affect commercial fishers who follow catch limits and rules.
Recreational Anglers: Potential Rule Review
On June 9, 2026 (4:00–5:30 p.m. EST), a webinar will discuss recent performance of the recreational bluefish fishery and help develop the 2026 Fishery Performance Report. That report will be considered when reviewing the previously implemented 2027 bluefish catch and landings limits and recreational management measures, which could lead to changes affecting recreational fishers who follow catch limits and rules.
