August 6, 2015 — Judge James C. Dever has dismissed a lawsuit by the N.C. Fisheries Association (NCFA) and Carteret County Fisherman’s Association (CCFA) to challenge how gill-net fishing is regulated in areas where sea turtles are present.
The NCFA and CCFA demanded in the suit, filed on March 6 in federal court in Raleigh, that Incidental Take Permits for sea turtles be removed or all recreational fishing closed while management plans are developed and applied to recreational, hook-and-line fishermen.
Named as defendants of the suit for the U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Department of the Interior, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the N.C. Department of Environmental and Natural Resources, the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries and the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission.
In dismissing the complaint that was brought by the NCFA and CCFA on behalf of all commercial fishermen in the state, Dever, the chief judge for the Eastern District of North Carolina, said in a 19-page dismissal order, the plaintiffs lacked jurisdiction to sue various state and federal agencies.
