MAFMC motion on Delaware's SMZs:

I move that the Council recommend to
the RA with respect to the Special
Management Zone designation proposal
to approve 2a (all five reefs), 3b
(hook, line and spear fishing only to
include taking by hand), 4b (all year
round), and a 500 yard buffer.
Anderson/McMurray (11/3/2)
Motion

11 for, 3 against and 2 abstain. RA means Regional Administrator, referring to the National Marine Fisheries Service. He will have the final say if this goes forward to a public comment on a Proposed Federal Rule or not.
