To provide for an equitable management of summer flounder based on

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JANUARY 14, 2014 
Mr. BISHOP of New York (for himself, Mr. GRIMM, and Mr. KING of New 
York) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee 
on Natural Resources 
A BILL 
To provide for an equitable management of summer flounder 
based on geographic, scientific, and economic data and 
for other purposes. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Fluke Fairness Act’’.

across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic United 
States. 
(2) The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conserva-
tion and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) 
was reauthorized in 2006 and instituted annual 
catch limits and accountability measures for impor-
tant fish stocks. 
(3) That reauthorization prompted fishery man-
agers to look at alternate management schemes to 
rebuild depleted stocks like summer flounder. 
(4) Summer flounder occur in both State and 
Federal waters and are managed through a joint 
fishery management plan between the Council and 
the Commission. 
(5) The Council and the Commission decided 
that each State’s recreational and commercial har-
vest limits for summer flounder would be based upon 
landings in previous years. 
(6) These historical landings were based on 
flawed data sets that no longer provide fairness or 
flexibility for fisheries’ managers to allocate re-
sources based on the best science. 
(7) This allocation mechanism resulted in an 
uneven split among the States along the East Coast 
which is problematic.
