    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has approved and implemented Framework Adjustment 39 to the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery Management Plan. This rule sets fishing specifications and management measures for 2025 and 2026, including allocations of fishing effort, opening and closure of certain areas to protect juvenile scallops, and clarifications to research set-aside program regulations. The aim is to prevent overfishing, improve scallop yields, and optimize management of the fishery. Framework 39 increases opportunities for harvesting while managing bycatch and preserving scallop stock sustainability.
