offshore line to address the
concentration of fishing effort in the
inshore Gulf of Maine. Next, the
Scientific and Statistical Committee will
report on its recommendations for
overfishing limits and acceptable
biological catch recommendations for
Gulf of Maine cod, pollock, Gulf of
Maine winter flounder, and Georges
Bank winter flounder. Following a
lunch break, the rest of the day will be
spent reviewing and taking final action
on Framework Adjustment 53 to the
Groundfish FMP. The framework
addresses three major topics: (1) Status
changes (Gulf of Maine (GOM) haddock)
and specifications for several groundfish
stocks (Gulf of Maine cod and haddock;
Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank winter
flounder; pollock; and Georges Bank
yellowtail flounder); (2) windowpane
flounder sub-annual catch limit (ACLs)
for sectors, common pool; and the sea
scallop fishery; and (3) other
management measures, including
additional spatial protection for
spawning Gulf of Maine cod, and
possibly additional measures for that
stock, a roll-over provision for fishery
specifications, and annual catch
entitlement carryover provisions for
sectors.
