Samenvatting
NMFS proposes regulations to implement Amendment 2 to the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for the Commercial King and Tanner Crab Fisheries of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI). This FMP amendment would establish the Norton Sound Section of the Northern District of the king crab fishery as a superexclusive registration area. If this amendment is approved, existing regulations, which supersede State of Alaska (State) regulations that establish Norton Sound as a superexclusive registration area in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the BSAI, will be removed and reserved. This action is necessary for the effective management of the fishery having the smallest biomass and guideline harvest level (GHL) in the BSAI crab fisheries. This action is intended to promote management and conservation of crab and other fishery resources and to further the goals and objectives contained in the FMP for the Commercial King and Tanner Crab Fisheries of the BSAI.
