Title: ●Framework 13 to the Monkfish Fishery Management Plan Rulemaking | |
Abstract:
This action proposes to implement management measures included in Framework Adjustment 13 to the Monkfish Fishery Management Plan (Framework 13) that were developed by the New England Fishery Management Council in response to new scientific information, pursuant to the rulemaking authorities under section 303(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The action would set annual specifications (e.g. the acceptable biological catch, the annual catch limit, the annual catch target, and the total allowable landings) for fishing years 2023-2025. It would also adjust effort controls, including Day-At-Sea Allocations, to ensure that the commercial fishery stays within specifications. Finally, the proposed action would increase the minimum mesh size for gillnet gear to 12 inches from 10 inches, in order to reduce bycatch of monkfish smaller than the legal retention size. |
