Atlantic Tuna Fisheries; Public Hearings

Riepilogo

NMFS will hold four public hearings to receive comments from fishery participants and other members of the public regarding proposed amendments to regulations governing the Atlantic tuna fisheries. The proposed amendments would require: A Bluefin Tuna Statistical Document as a condition to import, export, or re-export fresh or frozen bluefin tuna shipments into or from the United States by bluefin tuna dealers; a Federal permit for all dealers that purchase or receive Pacific bluefin tuna for export; and a bi-weekly report and tagging requirement for Pacific bluefin tuna dealers that export fish.
