Open for Comment: Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act Provisions; Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Northeast Multispecies Fishery; Amendment 25 (Revised)
Commerce Department — NMFS proposes to incorporate revised Atlantic cod stock units into the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (FMP), and set status determination criteria (SDCs), specifications, and commercial and recreational management measures, for the four new cod stocks, as recommended by the New England Fishery Management Council (Council). This action also proposes other recreational groundfish measures necessary for the fishery. The purpose of this proposed action is to prevent overfishing, ensure rebuilding, and help achieve optimum yield in the groundfish fisheries consistent with the status of the stocks and requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act).
