NOAA Fisheries Service has proposed regulations to implement measures in Amendment 10 to the Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish Fishery Management Plan. Amendment 10 was developed by the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council to increase the minimum codend mesh size requirement for the Loligo squid fishery; establish a butterfish rebuilding program with a butterfish mortality cap for the Loligo fishery; establish a 72-hr trip notification requirement for the Loligo fishery; and require an annual assessment of the butterfish rebuilding program by the Council's Scientific and Statistical Committee.
Public comments may be submitted at www.regulations.gov until 5pm, eastern standard time, on October 19, 2009.
For more information, contact Carrie Nordeen at 978-281-9272.
