Extends the authority of the department of environmental conservation to manage bluefish

This bill extends the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's authority to manage bluefish (a popular recreational and commercial fish) through 2028, updating a previous expiration date. It allows the department to set specific regulations including size limits, catch quotas, seasonal closures, and gear restrictions for bluefish fishing. These rules must meet or exceed existing state standards and align with federal and regional fishery management plans. The change directly affects commercial and recreational fishermen who harvest or sell bluefish in New York waters.
