Title: ●Control Date for Black Sea Bass Pot Fishery of the South Atlantic Region 
Abstract: At the December 2008 Council meeting the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council voted to establish a revised control date of December 4, 2008, for all commercial black sea bass pot permits issued in the South Atlantic Exclusive Economic Zone. The establishment of this control date does not commit the Council or NOAA Fisheries Service to any particular management regime or criteria for entry into this fishery. Fishermen would not be guaranteed future participation in the fishery regardless of their entry date or intensity of participation in the fishery before or after the control date under consideration. The Council may choose to use a different control date, or to give the variably weighted consideration to fishermen active in the fishery before and after the control date. Other qualifying criteria, such as documentation of landings and sales, may be applied for entry into the fishery. The Council may choose to take no further action to control entry or access to the fishery in which case the control date may be rescinded.
