NMFS Publishes New Trigger Value for Southern Exclusion Zone Closure for Deep-Set Longline Fishery

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has set a new threshold for the closure of the Southern Exclusion Zone, which will be triggered by four observed mortalities or serious injuries of false killer whales in the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone, in accordance with the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 and the False Killer Whale Take Reduction Plan.
