New England Cod Fishery Restrictions In Place This Spring

Federal fishing managers say commercial fishing for Atlantic cod is limited by closures off the coast of New England this spring. 

Cod were once the subject of one of the largest fisheries in the country, but it has collapsed after years of overfishing and is much smaller than it once was.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said cod protection closures in the Gulf of Maine are taking place throughout May and June. More are scheduled in the fall.
