NMFS Adjusts 2019 Quotas for U.S. North Atlantic Tuna and Swordfish

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has adjusted the 2019 baseline quotas for U.S. North Atlantic albacore tuna, North and South Atlantic swordfish, and the Atlantic bluefin Reserve category to reflect underharvest of the 2018 adjusted U.S. quotas, in line with ICCAT recommendations and domestic management objectives under the Magnuson-Stevens Act.
