Shrimp Fishery Off the Southern Atlantic States

الملخص

NMFS announces a control date of April 4, 1994, for the commercial fishery for rock shrimp in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) off Florida from Duval through St. Lucie counties. Anyone entering the fishery after April 4, 1994, may not be assured of future participation in the fishery if a management regime is developed and implemented that limits the number of participants in the fishery. This notice is intended to discourage new entries into the fishery based on economic speculation while the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (Council) considers whether and how participation or effort in the rock shrimp fishery off the Florida counties should be controlled.
