From CaptTB previous post regarding this meeting.......

At this meeting they take the landings for the current year vs. the quotas that have already been set for next year and then give a range of options for the regulations. As for Fluke, they will also vote on whether to go with state by state or coastwide regulations. If the vote is for coastwide the regs will be set right then and there. If state by state is chosen, then states will submit regulation options to the ASMFC Technical Committee for approval based on the numbers that come out of the December meeting, and at the February ASMFC meeting states will find out what options were approved for the 2010 fishing year. After that, states will then decide what option will be "the option" for our regs for Fluke. In NJ that would happen at the March NJMFC meeting in Galloway Township.

The question is can we confirm this.......

non-preferred coastwide measures of a 19.5 inch TL minimum size, 2 fish possession limit and coastwide season from May 1 to September 30, 2010 and a precautionary default measure of 21.5 inch TL minimum size, 2 fish possession limit and coastwide season from May 1 to September 30, 2010.
