    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has released the final rule for the 2021 and 2022 harvest limits in the Gulf of Alaska's groundfish fishery. This rule sets the total allowable catch limits for various fish species to sustain fish populations and comply with management plans. The specifications are intended to balance environmental conservation with economic opportunities for fisheries and are in line with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. These regulations take effect from February 19, 2021, ensuring the responsible management of fisheries resources in the region.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. government has set new rules to make sure fish in Alaska's Gulf are caught in a way that keeps nature happy and fishers busy. This helps protect fish, while still letting people who catch fish do their jobs.
