Title: ●Framework Amendment 6 to the Fishery Management Plan for Coastal Migratory Pelagic Resources in the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Region
Abstract: CMP Framework Amendment 6 would increase the commercial trip limits in portions of the Atlantic Southern Zone for Atlantic migratory group king mackerel. Currently, a 3,500-pound trip limit is in effect for areas north of the Flagler/Volusia county line (29 degrees 25' N), during all of Season 1 (March 1-September 30). South of the Flagler/Volusia county line, the trip limit changes throughout the year, beginning with a 50 fish trip limit for the month of March and then a trip limit of 75 fish for the rest of Season 1. During Season 2 (October 1- end of February), a 50 fish trip limit exists until January 31. If the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) determines that less than 70 percent of the Season 2 quota has been landed by the end of January, the trip limit is adjusted to 75 fish for the month of February. CMP Framework Amendment 6 would increase Season 1 king mackerel trip limits in the Atlantic Southern Zone EEZ to 75 fish for the month of March between the Flagler/Volusia line and the Miami-Dade/Monroe line (25 degrees 20'24" N) and 3,500-pounds for April 1-September 30 off Volusia County, Florida.
