    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is redistributing the unused quota of Pacific cod from vessels that use jig gear to smaller catcher vessels that use hook-and-line or pot gear in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands. This reallocation is needed to ensure the 2021 Pacific cod catch limits are met. The action takes place from January 7, 2021, to December 31, 2021. It was deemed necessary to bypass public comments due to the urgency based on recent data.

    Simple Explanation

    In a big fishy world, those who catch fish are sharing some extra Pacific cod with smaller boats because the big boats with special fishing tools couldn't catch it all. This helps make sure everyone gets their fair share without waiting too long!

    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has issued a temporary rule to reallocate unused Pacific cod catch limits in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands. Specifically, 1,000 metric tons originally allocated for jig gear will be transferred to smaller vessels using hook-and-line or pot gear. This decision helps ensure more of the Pacific cod catch limit is used effectively before the end of 2025. The action bypasses normal public comment due to the urgency of incorporating the latest fisheries data.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is moving extra fish from big boats using one type of fishing gear to smaller boats using a different kind, so they make sure all the fish are used by the end of the year.
