View Rule

The purpose of this proposed rule is to approve and implement Framework 32 that sets management measures for the scallop fishery for the 2020 fishing year, including the annual catch limits for the limited access and limited access general category (LAGC) fleets, as well as days-at-sea (DAS) allocations and sea scallop access area trip allocations.  Furthermore, Framework 32 would: extend the existing seasonal closure in Closed Area II two additional weeks to reduce bycatch of Georges Bank yellowtail flounder and northern windowpane flounder, modify the one-for-one access area trip exchange requirements to accommodate different access area allocations, and close areas to fishing to protect small scallops and reduce bycatch of flatfish.
