Title: Framework Adjustment 1 to the Northeast Skate Complex FMP 
Abstract: Framework Adjustment 1 to the Skate FMP adjusts the possession limits for the skate wing fishery in order to slow the rate of skate wing landings, so that the available Total Allowable Landings limit (TAL) is taken by the fishery over a longer duration in the fishing year than occurred in 2010. The action also allows vessels that process skate wings at sea to land skate carcasses for sale into the bait market, without counting the carcass landings against the TAL (skate wings are already converted to live weight for monitoring).
