NMFS Announces Unchanged 2010 Fishing Quotas for Atlantic Surfclams and Ocean Quahogs

Summary

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has announced that the 2010 fishing quotas for Atlantic surfclams and ocean quahogs in the Northeastern United States remain unchanged. This decision is in line with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, which requires NMFS to notify the public of the allowable harvest levels for these fisheries if the previous year's quotas remain the same.
