Riepilogo

The United States, through a collaborative effort of NMFS and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS), announces the availability of a draft National Plan of Action for the Reduction of Incidental Catch of Seabirds in Longline Fisheries (NPOA-Seabirds). The United States, through NMFS, also announces a schedule change for the NPOA-Seabirds. NMFS will host a public meeting to receive comments from members of the public on the draft NPOA-Seabirds. To accommodate people unable to attend a meeting or wishing to provide written comments, NMFS solicits written comments on the NPOA-Seabirds.
