Title: ●Sea Turtle Conservation; Virginia Modified Pound Net Leader Inspection Program | |
Abstract: With this action, NMFS issues a rule to implement an inspection program for modified pound net leaders in the Virginia waters of the mainstem Chesapeake Bay. Regulations published on June 23, 2006 (71 FR 36024) required modified pound net leaders in a portion of the Virginia Chesapeake Bay from May 6 to July 15 each year. This action would ensure that leaders used in that area do, in fact, meet the definition of a modified pound net leader. The purpose of this action is to help protect threatened and endangered sea turtles, while enabling fishermen to use leaders, an important component of pound net gear, during the regulated period. | |
