Optional email offers information on fishing regulations and management actions
KEY MESSAGE:
- This is a reminder that NOAA Fisheries offers paperless ways to receive your fishery bulletins. These bulletins contain fishing regulation information and are typically referred to as "the blue sheets."
- This paperless email option will now be the only way to receive this information. NOAA Fisheries will no longer mail out paper copies of the bulletins in the mail.
- All of our fishery bulletins are also posted online HERE.
