Fisheries Off West Coast States; Coastal Pelagic Species Fisheries; Interim Specifications and Management Measures for Pacific Sardine

摘要

This final rule implements interim annual harvest specifications and management measures for the northern subpopulation of Pacific sardine (hereafter, Pacific sardine), pursuant to an order issued on July 10, 2024, by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in Oceana, Inc., v. Raimondo, et al.. Specifically, this rule re-instates the annual specifications and management measures that were in place for the 2023-2024 fishing year in whole, until the 2024-2025 annual Pacific sardine specifications and management measures are effective.
