The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is asking for public comments on an information collection related to fisheries in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. Fishers will work with NOAA to voluntarily collect detailed data during fishing trips using specific software. This data helps improve understanding of fish populations and can inform management decisions based on the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. Public comments on this information collection are open until May 19, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) wants to know what people think about their plan to collect information from fishers to learn more about fish in certain areas, and people can share their thoughts until May 19, 2025. They're trying to make sure they collect the information in a way that’s not too hard for the fishers.
