    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) will host a 3-day meeting of the Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Advisory Panel via webinar in May 2025. The meeting will focus on discussing options for the conservation and management of species like tunas, swordfish, sharks, and billfish in the Atlantic region. The event will be open to the public, who can participate and provide comments at designated times. The advisory panel is part of efforts under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act to consider different management strategies and updates related to highly migratory species.

    Simple Explanation

    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) will have a meeting online in May 2025 to talk about ways to help and manage big sea animals like tuna and sharks in the Atlantic Ocean. People can listen in and share their thoughts, but the details on how to do so might be a bit unclear.

  • 2020-29259 — Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment Request; Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Individual Bluefin Tuna Quota (IBQ) Tracking and Appeals
    Type:Notice

    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The Department of Commerce is submitting an information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a review regarding the Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Individual Bluefin Tuna Quota (IBQ) Tracking. This request aims to manage the distribution and tracking of bluefin tuna quotas among vessel owners, ensuring fair allocation and minimizing waste. Businesses must set up an account in the “Catch Shares Online System” to manage their quotas, and comments on this collection are invited within 30 days of the notice's publication. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) oversees this effort under mandates from fisheries conservation laws.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is asking for feedback about a plan to keep track of how much of a special kind of tuna, called bluefin tuna, fishermen are allowed to catch so everyone gets a fair amount. Fishermen need to use a special online system to keep track of their catches, and they're supposed to share their thoughts on how this works within 30 days.

  • 2025-00625 — Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Fisheries; General Category January Through March Quota Transfer
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 2638
    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is transferring 20.5 metric tons of quota for Atlantic bluefin tuna from the December 2025 period to the January through March 2025 period. This change is designed to give fishermen more opportunities to catch tuna and help gather important data about the fish population. The adjusted quota for January through March will now be 58.2 metric tons. The decision considers current fish availability and aims to ensure the sustainable management of tuna stocks.

    Simple Explanation

    The National Marine Fisheries Service is letting fishermen catch more Atlantic bluefin tuna between January and March by moving some of their catch allowance from the later months, so there are more chances to catch fish when they are available. This change is like moving a snack from your afternoon box to your morning box so you can eat it when you're hungrier earlier in the day.
