    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The National Marine Fisheries Service has announced that North Carolina will transfer a portion of its 2020 summer flounder fishing quota to Massachusetts. This change is being made retroactively due to quota transfer provisions in the Summer Flounder Management Plan and was necessary to cover fish landings by a North Carolina vessel in Massachusetts. The adjusted quotas for 2020 are now 3,026,316 pounds for North Carolina and 802,549 pounds for Massachusetts. This adjustment ensures compliance with fishery management rules and allows for proper calculation of future quotas.

    The National Marine Fisheries Service is letting everyone know that North Carolina gave some of its 2020 fishing rights for a type of fish called summer flounder to Massachusetts. This is to make sure the fishing rules are followed so North Carolina’s fishing in Massachusetts doesn't cause any trouble.

    The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking public comments on its information collection activities related to the U.S. Pacific Highly Migratory Hook and Line Logbook. These activities require U.S. fishermen who hold a permit to complete and submit logbooks documenting their fishing activities. The public has 60 days to provide input on this collection process, which aims to assess and minimize the reporting burden on respondents. The information gathered will support fisheries management and negotiations with foreign nations on highly migratory species.

    Simple Explanation

    NOAA wants to know what people think about a rule where fishers must write down what they catch so that they can study and talk with other countries about fish. They have 60 days to say what they think, but some people might be worried about how hard it is to share this information or what will happen to it.

  • 2021-03351 — Coastal Migratory Pelagic Resources of the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Region; 2020-2021 Commercial Hook-and-Line Closure for King Mackerel in the Gulf of Mexico Southern Zone
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 10183
    Reading Time:about 4 minutes

    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, has issued a temporary rule to close the hook-and-line commercial fishing for king mackerel in the southern zone of the Gulf of Mexico. This closure is due to the commercial quota being reached and will last from February 22, 2021, until the end of the fishing year on June 30, 2021. NMFS previously closed gillnet fishing for the same species in this zone after reaching its quota on January 28, 2021. The closure aims to conserve the king mackerel population in the Gulf.

    Simple Explanation

    The people in charge of fishing rules have decided that fishermen can’t use a certain kind of fishing rod to catch a type of fish called king mackerel in part of the Gulf of Mexico because too many have been caught already. This break from fishing will help make sure there are enough fish left for the future.
