  • 2024-30247 — Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Inseason Adjustment to the 2025 Gulf of Alaska Pollock and Pacific Cod Total Allowable Catch Amounts
    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 103698
    Reading Time:about 5 minutes

    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is making a temporary adjustment to the 2025 fishing limits for pollock and Pacific cod in the Gulf of Alaska. This adjustment is necessary because the original limits were based on outdated data. The new limits are intended to match the most recent scientific recommendations and ensure that fishing practices do not harm endangered Steller sea lions. Public comments on these changes can be submitted until January 3, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The fish police are changing how much fish people can catch next year in a big ocean area near Alaska because they found new information that wasn't right before. They want to make sure we don't catch too much so the sea lions have enough to eat, and people have until January 3, 2025, to say what they think about this change.

  • 2024-30083 — Magnuson-Stevens Act Provisions; Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Atlantic Herring Fishery; Adjustment to 2025 Specifications
    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 103695
    Reading Time:about 10 minutes

    The National Marine Fisheries Service, part of the NOAA, has released an interim final rule to lower the 2025 Atlantic herring fishing limits across four management areas. This adjustment is based on new scientific studies showing the herring stock is overfished and aims to prevent overfishing and support the rebuilding of the herring population by 2028. To ensure the reduced limits are in place at the start of the 2025 fishing season, NMFS is bypassing the usual public comment period. The overall catch limits for 2025 have been significantly reduced to protect the fishery from further decline.

    Simple Explanation

    The people in charge of fishing in the Northeast noticed that there aren't enough Atlantic herring fish, so they decided to let fishermen catch fewer herring in 2025 to help more fish grow and make sure there are lots of herring in the future.
