List of Fisheries for 2005
Traduction automatique locale · Langue originale de la source
Résumé
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is publishing the proposed List of Fisheries (LOF) for 2005, as required by the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). The proposed LOF for 2005 reflects new information on interactions between commercial fisheries and marine mammals. NMFS must categorize each commercial fishery on the LOF into one of three categories under the MMPA based upon the level of serious injury and mortality of marine mammals that occurs incidental to each fishery. The categorization of a fishery in the LOF determines whether participants in that fishery are subject to certain provisions of the MMPA, such as registration, observer coverage, and take reduction plan requirements.
