The proposed rule for Atlantic bonito (15A NCAC 03M .0524) is exactly the kind of proactive management we need more of on the Atlantic coast. North Carolina currently has  no rules  in place for Atlantic bonito. No size limit. No bag limit. No stock assessment. Meanwhile, recreational landings have been climbing steadily since 2017 and now exceed the long-term average. North Carolina alone accounts for  22 percent of all coastwide recreational bonito harvest . That is a massive share of a coastal migratory resource, and the trend is unmistakable. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-guide-post-1386621/episodes/action-alert-bonito-in-nc/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-guide-post-1386621/action-alert-bonito-in-nc.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
