Is it OK to transit between different Groundfish Management Areas (GMAs) while fishing?

transit, groundfish management area

This can be a complicated question. Ultimately it depends on the time of year, which Groundfish Management Area (GMA) you are leaving, and which GMA you will be fishing in. Anglers are advised to check groundfish regulations in both GMAs before they transit or fish across GMAs.
