Title: Framework Adjustment to Modify a Commercial Accountability Measure in the Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Fishery Management Plan | |
Abstract:
As per action by the Mid Atlantic Fishery Management Council and the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, this rule would propose to adjust the current pound-for-pound accountability measures required for non-landings overages (i.e., overages that occur because of higher-than-expected dead discard estimates) in the summer flounder, scup, and black sea bass fisheries. When overages cannot be addressed through a landings-based accountability measure alone, this action would allow for a scaled payback of an annual catch limit overage, depending on the condition of the stock rather than a pound-for-pound payback of the annual catch limit overage. |
