Texans fishing protected
by 200-mile boundary limit
By KAYCE GLASSE
I The Fishery Conservation and
llanagement Act of 1976 (FCMA),
is providing fish for recreational fish
ing and consumers in the long run,
|id for the industry immediately,
said John A. Mehos in a lecture last
|ight.
"The 200 Mile Limit—Progress
Towards Fisheries Management in
the Gulf of Mexico” was the topic
presented by the Department of
Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences.
Mehos is chairman of the Gulf of
Mexico Regional Fisheries Man
agement Council which applies the
FCMA to the Gulf Coast area.
Mehos said one reason for the act
was to provide fishing in these
waters for domestic fishermen only.
It also “gave people in the industry
the opportunity to allow us to man
age fisheries within territorial
boundaries of the Gulf Coast.
The word “fishery,” Mehos said,
refers to “the catch of a specified fish
or sea product.
The 200-mile limit extends from
the southernmost tip of Texas
around Brownsville to the Florida
Keyes.
The territorial boundaries of the
Gulf Coast extend out from the coast
for nine marine miles along Texas,
and less along Louisiana, Alabama,
Mississippi and Florida. A marine
mile is equal to approximately 1.1
land miles.
For recreational fishermen, the
act meant limiting fishing trips so
there would be more fish. Enforce
ment by the Coast Guard also would
prevent fishermen from other states
waters from fishing in Texas waters.
This rule applies to the other states
as well.
Mehos said good management has
been the objective and goal of the
FCMA.
“This gives us the opportunity for
the first time to manage fishing on a
comprehensive and regional basis
rather than state by state, he said.
For the consumer, he said the act
would mean more fish and lower
prices in the long run by restricting
the fishing to domestic fishermen.
