Abstract:

The state's ocean and coastal fisheries are showing limited signs of progress as two stocks, striped mullet and sharks, are upgraded to recovering, as reported in a stock status report from the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries. Weakfish was downgraded to overfished, and summer flounder was moved to the concerned category. The 2005 stock report lists fish in the following categories: viable, recovering, concerned, overfished, and unknown.
