Fish Game Season 2

INSTRUCTIONS

It continues to be OPEN ACCESS  during this fishing season. There are still no regulations that restrict everyone from using specific gear types or catching certain marine life. Unlike the previous season, EVERYONE can fish anywhere, catch any species, and use any gear they want.

When you hear “GO FISH”,  everyone can start fishing between 10 to 30 seconds and will continue until you hear  “STOP”.   You may still collect and count the fish in the gear after the "STOP"  but cease to continue fishing.

After the fishing season is finished, count the number of adult fish, juvenile fish, and non-fish species/species with important conservation value you landed and report the total number to the Fish Traders. They will record the data in the Fisheries Catch Monitoring Form.

SEASON RULES

1. Leaders will observe in this round.

2.  All fishers and seaweed farmers may fish with any gear.

3. There are no catch limits or restrictions. Fishers may catch whatever they want, wherever they want, and with whatever gear they want to use.
