Abstract:
Amendment 1 to the herring FMP, which will create a limited access herring fishery, is needed to improve resource conservation, minimize the potential for excess harvesting capacity in the fishery, and provide a platform to promote long-term economic stability for harvesters, processors, and fishing communities. This amendment is designed to meet all the requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, as well as other applicable laws. This revision also will merge 0648-0404, Northeast Region Vessel Monitoring and Communications and 0648-0521, Northeast Multispecies Framework Adjustment 40-B Permit into 0648-0202.
