Meetings to explain new flounder permit and reporting requirements postponed

The state’s marine fisheries division has postponed two meetings scheduled for next week to explain new flounder permit and reporting requirements for pound net fishermen and fish dealers.

The Division of Marine Fisheries has put the meetings on hold to allow for more internal review of the permit.

The meetings had been scheduled for Tuesday in Morehead City and Wednesday in Manteo.

New dates for the meetings have not yet been set.
