Striped bass fishermen in Maine will have the opportunity to comment on management of the species on Wednesday when the Maine Department of Marine Resources hosts a virtual meeting from 6 to 8 p.m.
The purpose of the forum is to provide updated information on the management of striped bass and to gather feedback on management of the Maine population from saltwater guides, recreational fishermen or anyone else interested in the recreational fishery.
Specifically, the department will provide data related to the abundance of juvenile stripers and angler activity based on the electronic angler logbook as well as the timeline of management actions expected to be taken by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission.
Fishermen do not need to register for the meeting, and can join the virtual forum at bit.ly/2PUcZHJ
They also can call in to the forum at 207-209-4724 and use the identification code: 766-620-554.
