BILL NUMBER:S2178 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to the period for the taking of striped bass PURPOSE: This legislation would alter the period of time in which striped bass are prohibited from may be taken in the marine waters of New York State from December 15 to April 15 to January 15 to April 15. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Subdivision 4 of Section 13-0347 of the Environ- mental Conservation Law is amended to extend the striped bass season in the marine waters of New York State for one month. JUSTIFICATION:Federal and State fishing regulations, changes in water temperature and seasonal migration patterns, and weather events and patterns have all negatively affected New York's commercial fishing industry. Today's commercial fishing fleet has been decimated and it is only a small percentage of what it once was. As recently witnessed with Hurricane Sandy, the potential for an extreme weather event to damage fishing infrastructure, further financially cripple our fisherman, and force migrating fish out of the region is a reality. Extending the striped bass season one month, to January 15th of each calendar year, will help create jobs, boost the Long Island economy, and ensure that quotas can be reached even if affected by natural causes. Otherwise, New York State could lose business to neighboring states.
