Retention Limit Adjustment: Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Angling Category Fishery

NOAA Fisheries is adjusting the Atlantic bluefin tuna daily retention limits for recreational fishermen. The adjusted limits will take effect June 1, 2026, and extend through December 31, 2026, unless modified by later action. NOAA Fisheries may need to take additional action later in the year to further adjust the retention limits or close the fishery.

As of June 1, 2026, the retention limits will be:

Highly Migratory SpeciesVessel/Permit TypeRetention Limit per Vessel per Day/Trip(lengths in curved fork length)
Private vessels with Highly Migratory Species Angling permits2 bluefin tuna measuring 27 to <73”, of which only 1 may be a large school/small medium bluefin tuna (47 to <73”)
Charter boats with Highly Migratory Species Charter/Headboat permits, when fishing recreationally3 bluefin tuna measuring 27 to <73”, of which only 1 may be a large school/small medium bluefin tuna (47 to <73”)
Headboats with Highly Migratory Species Charter/Headboat permits, when fishing recreationally6 bluefin tuna measuring 27 to <73”, of which only 1 may be a large school/small medium bluefin tuna (47 to <73”)

Note: The retention limits per vessel per day/trip. Regardless of the duration of a fishing trip, no more than a single day’s retention limit may be possessed or retained at the end of the trip upon landing. For example, whether a private vessel (fishing under the Angling category retention limit) takes a 2-day trip or makes 2 trips in one day, the day/trip retention limit of 2 bluefin tuna, of which only 1 may be a large school/small medium, applies and may not be exceeded upon landing.

Who is affected?

The changes apply to Highly Migratory Species Angling and Highly Migratory Species Charter/Headboat permitted vessels when fishing recreationally. The daily retention limits are effective for all areas except for the Gulf of America, where NOAA Fisheries does not allow targeted fishing for bluefin tuna.

Catch reporting

Highly Migratory Species Angling and Highly Migratory Species Charter/Headboat permitted vessel owners are required to report the catch of all bluefin tuna retained or discarded dead within 24 hours of landing or the end of trip by:

Sierra Club Joins Gov. Sherrill to Hold Data Centers Accountable in NJ

Today, Governor Mikie Sherrill announced her four-pronged plan to address the growing impact of data centers on the environment and communities, increase transparency, and hold them accountable. New Jersey Sierra Club Director, Anjuli Ramos-Busot, joined Senator Burzichelli, Assemblyman Bailey, IBEW and Mayor Stanzilis during this announcement.

This four-pillar approach to establish strong guardrails for data centers includes: 

  1. Establishing fair-share rules so data centers bring their own clean energy and contribute investments to the grid we share to help lower costs. 
  2. Enacting measures to improve transparency, starting with requirements to report the purpose of the data center and their energy and water use. 
  3. Directing the development of strong statewide standards and guidelines for Community Benefits Agreements to ensure these facilities address impacts like noise, light, heat and pollution while delivering lasting local investments. 
  4. Securing commitments around labor to create good-paying construction jobs and support prevailing wages and local trades.
