View Rule

In response to the joint recommendation from the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council and the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission this rule would propose management measures such as recreational possession limits, minimum fish sizes, and seasonal closures to achieve the 2020 recreational harvest limit for the summer flounder recreational fishery.  NMFS's Greater Atlantic Regional Administrator must implement coastwide measures or approve conservation equivalent measures per 50 CFR 648.102(d) as soon as possible following the Council and Commission's recommendation.  As is typical of summer flounder management measures this action proposes establishing conservation equivalency (i.e., waiving Federal measures in lieu of appropriate state water measures) for the recreational summer flounder fishery for 2020 and proposes to maintain the 2019 non-preferred coastwide measures to be effective in Federal waters if, ultimately, NMFS is unable to approve conservation equivalency.
