Title: ●2023 Specifications for the Summer Flounder, Scup, Black Sea Bass Fisheries | |
Abstract:
This action proposes 2023 specifications for summer flounder, scup, and black sea bass. NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service is proposing this action pursuant to the authorities under sections 303(c) and 304(b) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council and Board’s recommendations for summer flounder, scup, and black sea bass reflect changes to the commercial and recreational allocations which were approved by the Council and Board in December 2021. NMFS would also consider modifying the process for the optional February recreational opening to specify that vessels landing black sea bass in a state with an approved Wave 1 recreational fishery are subject to the state regulations during that Wave 1 fishery. Under the current process, states participating in the optional February opening are required to match the federal waters measures. The Council and Board made this change to address challenges associated with the process used to waive federal waters recreational black sea bass measures starting with 2022. |
