Title: ●Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Atlantic Commercial Shark Management Measures 
Abstract: This rule would adjust quotas for the 2009 fishing season for large coastal sharks (LCS), small coastal sharks (SCS), and pelagic sharks managed under Amendment 2 to the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP). These measures are necessary to ensure that quotas are based upon the most recent landings information and to account for over- or underharvests from the 2008 fishing season. These measures would also take into consideration the rebuilding plans for sandbar, dusky, and porbeagle sharks as outlined in the Amendment 2 to the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic HMS FMP.
