US Establishes 2016 Atlantic Shark Commercial Fishing Season with Quotas and Retention Limits

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) sets the opening date for the 2016 Atlantic shark commercial fishing season to January 1, 2016, and establishes quotas based on previous years' catches. The quotas include retention limits for directed shark limited access permit holders, which may change throughout the year to balance fishing opportunities in different regions.
