The Marine Fisheries and Wildlife Resources Commissions
					 shall implement their respective striped bass management plans for recreational
					 fishing pursuant to their respective rulemaking powers. To preserve
					 jurisdictional authority of each Commission, the following means are
					 established through which management measures can be implemented by a single
					 instrument in the following management areas:
(1) In the Roanoke River Management Area, the
				  exclusive authority to open and close seasons and areas and establish size and
				  creel limits, whether inland or joint fishing waters, shall be vested in the
				  Wildlife Resources Commission. An instrument closing any management area in
				  joint fishing waters shall operate as a jointly-issued instrument opening or
				  closing seasons or areas to harvest in the Roanoke River Management
				  Area.
(2) In the Albemarle Sound
				  Management Area, the exclusive authority to open and close seasons and areas
				  and establish size and creel limits, whether coastal or joint fishing waters,
				  shall be vested in the Marine Fisheries Commission. The season shall close by
				  Marine Fisheries Commission proclamation if the quota is about to be exceeded.
				  In the Albemarle Sound Management Area administered by the Marine Fisheries
				  Commission, a proclamation affecting the harvest in joint and coastal fishing
				  waters, excluding the Roanoke River Management Area, shall automatically be
				  implemented and effective as a Wildlife Resources Commission action in the
				  inland fishing waters and tributaries to the waters affected.
