In the latest episode of The Guide Post, Willy and Will sit down with Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council Member Dr. Michelle Duval to discuss the recently approved Harvest Control Rule, which will change the way managers set recreational measures for black sea bass, summer flounder, scup, and bluefish. Dr. Duval, who has an extensive background in fisheries ecology and recreational fisheries issues, describes what the traditional process looked like and how the approved approach will operate. The concept of the Harvest Control Year, and efforts to get it implemented quickly, have generated a lot of buzz and controversy in recent months. We certainly had our concerns, and still have several that remain unaddressed—namely, will the Harvest Control Rule work as intended, or will it increase the risk of overfishing and unsustainably managed fisheries? Follow along to learn more about what exactly the Harvest Control Rule is and what it might mean for the management of these four critical species. This podcast is presented by Costa Sunglasses.

| EP039: Viral Chesapeake Bay Net Video | Eyewitness Accounts | 01 Mar 2022 | 00:41:27 | |
If you have Instagram or Facebook and associate yourself with salty outdoorsmen, you have probably seen a video filmed on the Chesapeake Bay that has gone viral within the striped bass and fishing space. As these posts harbor a lot of polarizing dialogue surrounding what appeared to be a load of large, breeder striped bass trapped within a seine net pinned to a commercial vessel for "multiple days", we decided to reach out to the anglers who saw and reported the incident. Brennan and Chris used sound judgment and honorable confidence to call in the situation to Maryland DNR and stopped by the podcast to provide an eyewitness account of the disturbing big-bass situation.

In the final episode of what has amounted to be an eventful year of fisheries management activity (or lack thereof), Tony and Willy are joined by ASGA NC Board Member Capt. Tom Roller to chop up the good, the ugly and the unknown as we count down the clock on 2021. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays & Happy New Year from the ASGA Team!

| EP146: Cobia Addendum II - Get Involved | 27 Jun 2024 | 00:37:25 | |
In Episode 146 of The Guidepost, ASGA’s Will Poston sits down with Emilie Franke of the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission to discuss Draft Addendum II for Atlantic Cobia. Recreational data uncertainties, shifting distribution, and structural management deficiencies are some of these issues frustrating cobia management, and what Addendum II seeks to address. Cobia from Georgia through Rhode Island are managed by the ASMFC through Amendment 1, which utilizes a quota strategy to maintain the sustainability of the stock. However, because the fishery is overwhelmingly recreational, monitoring quotas and developing new management measures can be very challenging. The Marine Recreational Informational Program (MRIP) has its flaws, and recreational catch and effort of Atlantic cobia expose all the limitations of our data collection program, which is in part what Addendum II hopes to address.
Draft Addendum II considers new allocations schemes for the recreational sector, such as moving from a state-by-state scheme to regional or coastwide harvest targets, which would be better suited to utilize the recreational fishing data we have now. In addition, the addendum includes other alternatives which could give managers more tools to respond to new stock assessments and make better use of the available fisheries data.

| EP025: Designing Offshore Wind Power to Improve Habitat for Marine Life | Carl LoBue of The Nature Conservancy | 15 Dec 2021 | 01:05:24 | |
On this episode of The Guide Post, ASGA's own Tony Friedrich is joined by policy consultant Will Poston and feature guest Carl LoBue. Carl is the Ocean Program Director for The Nature Conservancy in NY. Carl’s focus is on protecting and restoring marine surface water quality and estuarine habitats, improving the sustainability of marine fisheries, and on enabling coexistence of vulnerable and valuable ocean resources with existing and emerging human activities such as offshore energy development. The trio break down some interesting efforts to piggyback enhanced fish and marine life habitat onto rapidly developing offshore wind resource projects by incorporating nature-based design principles. You can learn. more about these offshore wind turbine projects by heading to the ASGA LinkTree. This podcast is presented by Costa Sunglasses.

| EP024: Behind The Scenes of International Tuna Management | Rick Weber | 13 Dec 2021 | 01:03:12 | |
Management of highly migratory species that swim across national boundaries combines the challenges of fisheries management with the complexities of international negotiations. In the most recent episode of The Guide Post, ASGA's Willy Goldsmith sits down with Rick Weber, owner of South Jersey Marina and seasoned veteran of meetings of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, or ICCAT. Listen as they discuss the difficulties of building consensus among dozens of nations, the balance between effective conservation and a level playing field, and the outcomes of November’s ICCAT meeting regarding management measures for Western Atlantic bluefin tuna and North Atlantic shortfin mako sharks.
