Fisheries Off West Coast States and in the Western Pacific; Northern Anchovy Fishery; Control Date

Özet

The Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) is developing an amendment to the Northern Anchovy Fishery Management Plan (FMP) that may place small coastal pelagic species under Federal management along with northern anchovy. Proposed management options include limiting effort by controlling the number and/or capacity of vessels harvesting coastal pelagic resources off Washington, Oregon, and California. This notice is intended to notify fishermen that anyone entering the coastal pelagics fishery after November 5, 1997, may not be eligible to continue participating in the fishery under the new amendment.
