USNMFS Seeks Comments on Proposed Rule for Overlapping Fisheries Jurisdiction in Pacific Ocean

Summary

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is seeking public comments on a proposed rule that would revise the management regime for fishing vessels targeting tunas and other highly migratory fish species in the Pacific Ocean, where the jurisdiction of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) and the Commission for the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPFC) overlap.
