We are hopeful that the Pledge can help to rebuild the striped bass biomass, one angler at a time, as we wait patiently for the ASMFC to act. Please consider joining us in taking the Pledge.
We encourage you to share your Pledge with others via conversations, social media or other avenues. This grassroots movement will not only help striped bass, but will also serve as a “wake-up call” to the ASMFC that we are serious stewards of the resource.
Take the 1@32 Pledge now!

The growth of this pledge has generated interest from regional fishing publications looking for comment on our proposal. I am currently drafting a formal letter to the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission to present this shift in angler behavior as a documented trend.

watching the charters take 12 huge ones a day is painful, esp with tourists. 1 32 fish feeds 8 people.
"Those Who Do Not Learn History Are Doomed To Repeat It." We need coastal reduction in the harvest of Striped Bass. 1 bass at a minimum of 32" is a starting point. An inclusive coastal regulation structure needs to be implemented throughout the migration routes of the Striped Bass. I pray that we do not have another collapse of this valuable resource as we did in the 80’s.
The striped bass fishery in Long Island Sound is suffering and I fully support this and even more stringent approaches. Quotas should also be enforced at both the private and charter/party level. Every time a body of fish moves into an area, they are ravaged by countless anglers and before you know it, you've decimated a potential migration. It's time to be more strict in the short term for greater sustainability in the future.

avid surfcaster who would love to see the stock on the rise rather than the decline
Should extend idea to annual limit based on need(how many fish do you need to eat in one winter)
I pledge one@32 !

We have to begin somewhere and the 1at 32" gives a fish hopefully at least two shots at spawning. Who can argue against reducing the two fish take to ONE? A 50% reduction in take will increase the fishery's total numbers,too.
