The Division of Marine Fisheries (MarineFisheries) has extended the 2012 commercial fishing and dealer permits through January 14, 2013 due to processing delays.  New permits will be required as of January 15, 2013. In early December, MarineFisheries mailed permit renewals to all permit holders. Please be advised that to receive a 2013 commercial fishing or dealer's permit,  permit holders must submit to MarineFisheries all outstanding 2012 trip-level reports in advance of the renewal. Moreover, in 2013, permit holders who do not comply with reporting requirements may be subject to non-renewal and/or other permit sanctions.
