Maine LD1353 amends eligibility for commercial menhaden fishing licenses after 2023.
Maine LD1353 modifies the eligibility criteria for commercial menhaden fishing licenses, effective after 2023. The Commissioner of Marine Resources can only issue a license to an individual if they had a license in 2019, 2020, 2021, or 2022 and reported legal landings of menhaden of at least 20,000 pounds in one of those years. This bill also allows for a 2026 license if the individual meets the landing requirement for the previous calendar year.
