    Reading Time:about 4 minutes

    The National Marine Fisheries Service is considering an application for an Exempted Fishing Permit (EFP) that would allow certain fishing boats to operate outside of the usual regulations. This permit aims to help small boats from Cape Cod catch and sell smaller quantities of Atlantic surfclams and ocean quahogs more safely and efficiently. The application involves using alternative containers for the catch, which could benefit local fishermen by improving market access and safety. The public can comment on this proposal until April 7, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wants to let some fishermen from Cape Cod catch clams and sell them in a new way that might be safer and better for them, and they are asking people what they think about this idea.

    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has published a notice about an Exempted Fishing Permit (EFP) application by Atlantic Capes Fisheries, Inc., in partnership with Rutgers University. This permit, if granted, would allow certain vessels to catch both surfclams and ocean quahogs during the same trip, something normally restricted by current regulations. The aim is to research and develop accurate methods for estimating the number of these species discarded and mixed at sea. Public comments on this proposal must be submitted by April 7, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is thinking about letting some fishing boats try something new and different to help scientists learn more about clams. They want to know what you think about this idea by April 7, 2025.
