Title: International Fisheries; Pacific Tuna Fisheries; 2022-2024 Commercial Fishing Restrictions for Pacific Bluefin Tuna in the Eastern Pacific Ocean | |
Abstract:
NMFS proposes a rule to implement a binding resolution that is expected to be adopted by the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) in the late summer or fall of 2021. This resolution is expected to establish commercial Pacific bluefin tuna catch limits applicable to 2022-2024. Similar catch limits have been in place since 2015 and the future Resolution is expected to increase the catch limit, providing either similar or reduced economic burden to the U.S. fishing industry. Pacific bluefin tuna is overfished throughout the Pacific Ocean, and commercial catch limits are necessary to aid in rebuilding of the stock. Limits on catch are strongly supported by the environmental community and are expected by domestic commercial fishing interests. NMFS will implement this resolution by regulation under the Tuna Conventions Act. |
