    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to implement Framework Adjustment 39 to the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery Management Plan for the 2025 and 2026 fishing years. This plan includes setting scallop catch limits, allocating fishing efforts, and modifying access area management to protect juvenile scallops. The adjustment also involves seasonal closures, area openings, and a research set-aside for scallop studies. The proposed rule aims to prevent overfishing, increase yield, and optimize the sustainability of scallop fisheries.

    Simple Explanation

    The rule wants to make sure there are enough scallops for the future by setting new limits on catching them and where boats can fish. It's like saying, "Let's share our toys so everyone has enough to play with tomorrow."

    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has approved and implemented Framework Adjustment 39 to the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery Management Plan. This rule sets fishing specifications and management measures for 2025 and 2026, including allocations of fishing effort, opening and closure of certain areas to protect juvenile scallops, and clarifications to research set-aside program regulations. The aim is to prevent overfishing, improve scallop yields, and optimize management of the fishery. Framework 39 increases opportunities for harvesting while managing bycatch and preserving scallop stock sustainability.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is making new rules for catching scallops in the ocean to make sure there are still lots of them for the future. They want to help fishermen catch more scallops without hurting baby scallops or other sea animals.
