Foreign Fishing; Shrimp Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico

Краткое содержание

NMFS issues this final rule to implement Amendment 7 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Shrimp Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico (FMP). This rule increases the domestic quota for royal red shrimp harvested from the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the Gulf of Mexico and eliminates the total allowable level of foreign fishing (TALFF) for royal red shrimp from that area. In addition, NMFS changes the existing regulations that implement the FMP to clarify and conform them to current agency standards and to enhance enforcement.
