Atlantic Bluefish Fishery; Spiny Lobster Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic; Stone Crab Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico; Northern Anchovy Fishery; Salmon Fisheries Off the Coast of Alaska; Removal of Regulations

요약

NMFS withdraws five proposed rules that would have withdrawn approval of fishery management plans (FMPs) for the Atlantic bluefish fishery, the spiny lobster fishery of the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic, the stone crab fishery of the Gulf of Mexico, the northern anchovy fishery, and the salmon fisheries off the coast of Alaska, and their implementing regulations. This action is in response to opposition by Regional Fishery Management Councils (Councils) to the proposed rules, taking into account a provision in the recently enacted Sustainable Fisheries Act.
