Title: Seabird Avoidance Requirements Revisions for Hook-and-Line Vessels in International Pacific Halibut Commission Regulatory Area 4E | |
Abstract: NMFS takes this action to revise the seabird avoidance regulations for the hook-and-line fishery for groundfish and halibut in the International Pacific Halibut Commission regulatory area 4E of the Bering Sea. This action would eliminate seabird avoidance requirements for hook-and-line vessels less than or equal to 55 feet length overall in portions of Area 4E. This action is necessary to revise seabird avoidance regulations based on the latest scientific information regarding the location of seabirds and fishing activities and to reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens and associated costs. | |
