Title: Revised Aleutian Islands Steller Sea Lion Protection Measures for the Groundfish Fisheries 
Abstract: The rule revises the Atka mackerel and Pacific cod fisheries management in the Aleutian Islands subarea to ensure the Alaska groundfish fisheries are not likely to cause jeopardy of extinction or adverse modification or destruction of designated critical habitat for the endangered western distinct population segment of Steller sea lions. Fishery closures, harvest restrictions, and season dates are revised with this action. The rule also includes a 3 nautical mile closure to groundfish fishing around Kanaga Island/Ship Rock rookery.
