    Default Fishing License Expenditures Recommendations Made

    Fishing License Expenditures Recommendations Made

    Justin Queinberry 10/12/2008


    Nags Head, NC -- A committee has recommended that revenue from saltwater fishing licenses go toward projects that include a data collection system and youth fishing programs. The North Carolina Coastal Recreational Fishing License Advisory Committee has agreed that 12 of 19 programs requesting should get a grant. Its recommendation goes to the state Marine Fisheries Commission, which meets in November.
    The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk, Va., reported that the state Wildlife Resources Commission also must sign off on the projects.
    The advisory committee has collected about $7.9 million since the licenses were required as of Jan. 1, 2007. After deducting costs for other obligations and fisheries projects, the fund has about $4.3 million.

    This is why a national saltwater license will simplify things. My only problem with that is how they will use the $$.
