DEC INVITES PUBLIC COMMENTS ON PROPOSED 2020 GREAT LAKES FISHING REGULATIONSAnglers Encouraged to Comment on Proposed Regulations and Help DEC Improve Great Lakes Fisheries |
|
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos today announced the agency 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 enhancing anglers’ continued enjoyment of these world-class fisheries. The majority of the proposals are a direct result of DEC’s work with anglers during the past several years to identify desired outcomes for Lake Ontario sport fishery management.
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 proposed regulation changes currently under consideration. |
