South Carolina takes control of inshore fishery

I wonder if we could do something like this.

Governor Henry McMaster recently signed Senate Bill 219 into law, allowing recreational anglers to fish all 55 species in the red snapper–grouper complex year-round within South Carolina’s state waters, which extend up to three nautical miles from the coast. 

This legislation establishes state-specific fishing seasons, catch limits, and size requirements for these species, previously regulated solely by federal authorities like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The law aims to provide a more tailored approach to fisheries management, addressing concerns that federal regulations may not accurately reflect local fish populations and fishing conditions
