Title: ●Framework Adjustment 27 to the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery Management Plan 
Abstract:

The purpose of Framework 27 is to set management measures for the scallop fishery for the 2016 fishing year, including the annual catch limits and annual catch targets for the limited access and limited access general category fleets, as well as days-at-sea allocations and sea scallop access area trip allocations. Allocations in the proposed rule were similar to or slightly higher than previous years. In addition, Framework 27 would implement additional measures to protect small scallops for future harvest.
