Compliance reports
Horseshoe crabs are managed at the interstate level by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC). Each year member-states, including Massachusetts, must submit a compliance report to ASMFC documenting the status of the fishery and show that the horseshoe crab population is being monitored and managed properly.
