Title: Framework Adjustment 45 to the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan
Abstract: The New England Fishery Management Council (Council) developed Framework Adjustment 45 to the Northeast Multispecies FMP to implement measures to update status determination criteria for pollock; revise the rebuilding program for Georges Bank yellowtail flounder; revise annual catch limits for several stocks; implement additional sectors, including State-sponsored permit banks; modify a scallop exemption area; revise monitoring requirements; and implement a spawning closure area in the Gulf of Maine. These measures are expected to continue efforts to rebuild overfished stocks, minimize costs to industry, and increase the economic efficiency of vessel operations.
