DEC INVITES PUBLIC COMMENTS ON PROPOSED 2020 REGULATIONS FOR GREAT LAKES FISHINGAnglers Are Encouraged to Review and Comment to Help Continue Improving the Region’s Fishery |
|
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) today announced it is seeking angler feedback on proposed fishing regulation changes for New York’s Great Lakes. The proposed changes are designed to safeguard and expand certain fish populations while also enhancing anglers’ continued enjoyment of one of the state’s premier fisheries. The majority of the proposals are a direct result of DEC’s work with anglers during the past year to identify desired outcomes for Lake Ontario’s fishery.
Following a review of public comments received and further evaluation this winter, DEC may advance these proposals for formal adoption in 2020. DEC welcomes and encourages feedback on the regulation changes currently under consideration. |
