Marking commercial pots and trotlines…
Marking commercial pots and trotlines:
A change to marking requirements for the commercial use of pots (15A NCAC 03J .0301) and commercial trotlines (15A NCAC 03J .0305) will require the gear owner’s last name and initials be identified on each buoy as a baseline. Previously, it was not specified how the owner was to be identified unless a vessel was used, and the markings were only required for trotlines when used for recreational purposes.
