Western Pacific Crustacean Fisheries

NMFS issues a final rule to implement selected measures of Amendment 8 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Crustacean Fisheries of the Western Pacific Region (FMP). The rule eliminates a 2-year landing requirement for permit renewal, which had an unintended detrimental effect on lobster fishery permit holders. The rule also modifies existing notification and reporting procedures. The implemented changes are intended to improve administration, monitoring, and enforcement of the fishery.
