Title: ●Framework Adjustment 39 to the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery Management Plan 
Abstract:

At its December 2024 meeting, the New England Fishery Management Council voted to submit Framework 39 to NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).  Pursuant to section 304(a) and 305(d) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, NMFS is drafting a proposed rule to approve and implement Framework 39.  Framework 39 would set annual specifications for the Atlantic sea scallop fleet for the 2025 fishing year, including the annual catch limits for the limited access and limited access general category fleets, as well as days-at-sea allocations and sea scallop access area trip allocations.
