    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has announced the closure of the commercial Atlantic mackerel fishery from December 6, 2024, to December 31, 2024. This decision is due to reaching 100% of the domestic annual harvest quota, aiming to prevent overfishing and support the species' recovery under the management plan. During this period, strict limits are placed on the amount of mackerel that vessels can catch and dealers can purchase. This action is necessary to comply with federal regulations and ensure the sustainability of the mackerel population.
