Title: ●Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Revisions to Shark Fishery Closure Regulations | |
Abstract:
This rulemaking would consider revising the procedures in place for Atlantic Highly Migratory Species shark fishery closures. The rulemaking could change the landings level that prompts fishery closure and the length of time between public notice and the effective date of a fishery closure. This action would consider ways to facilitate more timely action by the National Marine Fisheries Service when a closure is necessary to prevent overharvest and help commercial shark fisheries more fully utilize available quota by preventing early closures. |
