      <image:title>Species - Bluefish</image:title>
      <image:caption>The bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix) is a migratory species found in temperate and tropical coastal oceans worldwide. In the United States, bluefish are found along the entire east coast from Maine through Florida. Bluefish are blue-green on the back and silvery on the sides and belly. They have a pointed snout and a prominent jaw, with sharp, compressed teeth. Bluefish live up to 12 years and may exceed lengths of 39" and weights of 31 pounds. Bluefish eat a wide variety of prey and are particularly known for a feeding behavior called the "bluefish blitz" where large schools of fish attack bait near the surface.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Species - Spiny Dogfish</image:title>
      <image:caption>Spiny dogfish  (Squalus acanthias) is a small species of shark found in the North Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans, mostly in the temperate and subarctic areas. Spiny dogfish are slim, with a narrow, pointed snout and characteristic white spots. They have two dorsal fins with ungrooved large spines and are colored grey above and white below. Males grow up to 3.3 feet, and females grow up to 4 feet.  Spiny dogfish are top-level predators and feed on a wide variety of small fish, crustaceans, jellyfish, squid, and other marine animals. They are found both inshore and offshore, usually near the bottom but also in mid-water and at the surface.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Species - Golden Tilefish</image:title>
      <image:caption>Golden tilefish (Lopholatilus chamaelonticeps) have white bellies and iridescent blue-green on the back with spots of bright yellow and gold. They are slow growing and can reach sizes of up to 3-3/4 feet, although the average size harvested is 2 feet. Tilefish typically live at depths of 250-1,500 feet where water temperatures range from 49 to 58 degrees.  They are often found in and around submarine canyons where they burrow in mud or sand sediment. Some tilefish build large sand and rubble mounds, which provide habitat for other bottom-dwelling creatures and fishes.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Species - Blueline Tilefish</image:title>
      <image:caption>Blueline tilefish (Caulolatilus microps) are dull-olive grey fish with white undersides. They lack a fleshy structure behind their head which visually separates them from golden tilefish. Blueline tilefish have a long snout, a narrow gold stripe underlined in fluorescent blue from the snout to the tip of the eye, and a strong flat spine on their gill cover. They also have an elongated, continuous dorsal and anal fin that is roughly half the length of the body. Males tend to be larger than females and can grow up to 32 inches long and live for up to 15 years.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Council Actions - Recreational Reform Initiative</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Recreational Reform Initiative is an effort of the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council (Council) and the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (Commission) to improve management of the recreational fisheries for summer flounder, scup, black sea bass, and bluefish. The goals of the Initiative are to (1) provide stability in the recreational bag, size, and season limits, (2) develop strategies to increase management flexibility, and (3) achieve accessibility aligned with availability/stock status for all four species.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In December 2024, the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council approved a Comprehensive Five-Year (2025-2029) Research Priorities document. This document builds off the organizational and prioritization framework implemented during the development of the 2020-2024 document and has been updated to incorporate the extensive input received throughout 2024. The broad research themes and species-specific priorities included in the new document reflect the current state of scientific knowledge and the Council’s management challenges and science needs.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Awards - Adam Nowalsky (2024)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Adam Nowalsky was selected as the recipient of the 2024 Ricks E Savage award. Nowalsky was appointed to the Council in 2015 and served with distinction for nine years before terming out in 2024. During his tenure, he was one of the Council’s most engaged and influential voices, known for his willingness to dive into complex management issues. During his time on the Council, Nowalsky was particularly engaged in recreational fisheries management issues. With more than two decades of experience fishing South Jersey waters as a licensed charter operator, he brought practical knowledge and an understanding of anglers' concerns to the Council's decision-making process. Notably, he was a driving force behind the Recreational Reform Initiative, a joint effort launched in 2019 by the Council and the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) which aims to improve management of recreational fisheries for summer flounder, scup, black sea bass, and bluefish. From 2016 to 2021, Nowalsky chaired the Council’s Research Steering Committee, leading efforts to navigate complex decisions about the future of the Research Set-Aside program. His leadership extended beyond the Council as well, serving as New Jersey’s Legislative Proxy to the ASMFC since 2010, where he has chaired numerous boards. He also played a central role in bringing the Marine Resource Education Program (MREP) to the Mid-Atlantic region and continues to serve on the MREP Steering Committee.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Awards - Laurie Nolan (2009)</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Council recognized Laurie Nolan of New York with its 2009 Ricks E Savage Award. Laurie was a dedicated member of the Council for nine years. As an active member of a fishing family, she was able to benefit the Council by bringing practical knowledge, fishing experience, and an understanding and appreciation for problems facing the fishing industry to the Council's decision-making process. During her term as Chairwoman of the Squid, Mackerel, and Butterfish Committee, Laurie built a coalition of support amongst the Council's membership so as to encourage the Council to adopt Tilefish Amendment 1. By adopting Tilefish Amendment 1, the Council was able to implement a "catch share" program that created conservation and management measures which promote safety of human life at sea; account for the importance of the tilefish fishery to fishing communities; provide those communities with sustained participation while minimizing adverse economic impacts; and, effectively end the race to fish.

Captain Philip Ruhle was posthumously named the 2008 recipient of the Ricks E Savage Award. Captain Ruhle was recognized for his contributions to the preservation of marine fisheries. He was honored by the World Wildlife Fund in November 2007 for the development of a net called "The Eliminator" which has since been renamed by NMFS as the Ruhle Trawl instead of the Haddock Rope Trawl. In 2003, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) named Phil an "Environmental Hero" for his work in improving their trawl survey practices. This award honors NOAA volunteers for their "tireless efforts to preserve and protect our nations' environment." In 2006, he assisted in the development of the Commercial Fisheries Research Foundation of Rhode Island. All of Mr. Ruhle's hard work and dedication to fisheries merited this recognition.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Climate Resilience</image:title>
      <image:caption>Climate change is having profound impacts on our oceans, fisheries, and coastal communities. Over the past century, the Northeast region has experienced some of the greatest warming and highest rates of sea-level rise of any area around the world. As the marine environment becomes warmer and more acidic, some species are experiencing changes in distribution and productivity. Understanding and adapting to climate change is critical to the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council’s mission of managing sustainable and productive fisheries.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Recreational Tilefish Permitting and Reporting - Step 1: Get a Private Recreational Tilefish Permit</image:title>
      <image:caption>Before you go fishing for tilefish, you will need to apply for a free private recreational tilefish permit. This is a vessel permit, not an individual permit. Start by registering for an account on GARFO Fish Online at the link below. Once you have created your account and signed in, click “Initial Private Recreational Tilefish Permit” and enter the required information.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Recreational Tilefish Permitting and Reporting - Step 2: Report Your Catch</image:title>
      <image:caption>You are required to submit an electronic vessel trip report (eVTR) within 24 hours of returning from any trip where you fished for tilefish (even if you didn’t catch or keep any fish). Several eVTR applications are available to choose from. In selecting an application, you should consider what type of device (phone, tablet, laptop/desktop) and what platform (Android, iOS, web browser) you plan to use. Visit the link below to learn more about eVTR Software options. Note: If you also hold Atlantic HMS permits, you may want to use the SAFIS eTrips mobile or online applications to streamline your reporting process. The SAFIS eTrips platform will satisfy both HMS and tilefish reporting requirements.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Habitat</image:title>
      <image:caption>Fish habitat plays an essential role in the reproduction, growth, and sustainability of commercial and recreational fisheries and is essential to the biodiversity of marine and coastal ecosystems.  Marine fish depend on healthy habitats for survival, and many species require specific types of habitats for spawning, breeding, feeding, and growth. The Council works cooperatively with its management partners to protect essential fish habitat areas and minimize adverse impacts of fishing activities on fish habitat.</image:caption>
