Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery

NMFS announces the closure of the commercial fishery for sablefish and a reduction in the trip limits for Dover sole and thornyheads north of 36 deg.00' N. lat., and a reduction in the coastwide trip limit for widow rockfish in the groundfish fishery off Washington, Oregon, and California. This action is authorized by the regulations implementing the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP). The closure and trip limits are designed to keep landings as close as possible to the 1994 harvest guidelines for these species while extending the fisheries as long as possible during the year.
