    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is allowing certain fishing fleets to start catching Pacific cod again in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands. This decision was made because there are still about 2,200 metric tons of Pacific cod that need to be caught in 2025. The fishing had been closed earlier this year but is now open from April 9 to November 1, 2025, to make sure the yearly limit is fully used. People can send comments about this change until April 28, 2025.

    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is temporarily stopping targeted fishing for Pacific cod by certain trawl catcher/processors in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands. This closure is necessary to avoid surpassing the Pacific cod catch limits set for the year 2025. The fishing restriction will be in effect from February 12, 2025, to November 1, 2025. This measure is taken based on the latest data and aims to ensure sustainable fishing practices in the area.

    Simple Explanation

    The people in charge have decided to stop a specific type of fishing for a while in a big ocean area, so the fish population stays healthy. They want to make sure there are still enough fish for next year, so they are being very careful with how many fish they catch now.
