With only 150,000 pounds allocated to the trap fishery, department officials said in a news release they have determined additional measures beyond those already established are needed to avoid overrunning the quota while allowing a profitable fishery.
The meeting will provide shrimp trappers the opportunity to review and provide input into the measures that will be implemented by the DMR prior to the Feb. 5 trap season start date.
