[Rimarinefisheries] 2020 RI Commercial Striped Bass Tags

[RI Marine Fisheries]

Please be advised that 2020 RI commercial striped bass tags for dealers of striped bass are available at the Department of Environmental Management's Division of Marine Fisheries Office in Jamestown, RI to properly licensed RI seafood dealers.  Tags are available ONLY at this office.  DUE TO COVID-19 ALL TAG PICKUPS MUST BE ARRANGED IN ADVANCE AS WE CAN ONLY OFFER CURBSIDE PICKUP AT THIS TIME. To schedule a pickup time, please contact Natalie Ameral at Natalie.ameral at dem.ri.gov<mailto:Natalie.ameral at dem.ri.gov> or 401-423-1923.

Please be reminded that any licensed dealer who receives commercial striped bass tags must submit a tagging report to the Division accounting for each tag received, whether used, broken, or unused. Dealers who do not supply tagging reports for the tags they have already been issued, or who are not compliant with SAFIS dealer reporting requirements, will not be allowed to receive additional tags. Dealers who do not submit tagging reports accounting for each tag used in 2019, and who did not return unused tags by January 1st, 2020, will not be issued any tags in 2020 (RIMF Regulations, Part 3 - Finfish<https://rules.sos.ri.gov/regulations/part/250-90-00-3>, section 3.9.2(E)).  An electronic excel template is available upon request for any dealer who wishes to submit their tagging reports electronically via email. Tagging reports may be submitted directly at Marine Fisheries or Coastal Resources, or via email, mail, or fax. Anyone with questions should contact Natalie Ameral at 401-423-1923.

Thank you.
