Since Jan. 1, 2010, Maryland Anglers, along with most States on the Coast need to register with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) before fishing this year. Anglers can register for free online at www.countmyfish.noaa.gov
It is said that this will allow for accurate information and condition of fish stocks, to then be used to determine appropriate regulations. Since it’s run by .gov, I doubt it will be used in an effective and efficient manner. Check out the forum for more discussion on this topic.
