effectively fished, and whether
preliminary information supports the
dredge’s expected better size selectivity
and reduction of bycatch. The applicant
submitted a complete application for an
EFP on March 22, 2016, to enable the
use of the modified gear during MidAtlantic Access Area fishing trips. The
EFP would authorize exemptions for
one commercial vessel from the scallop
dredge gear restriction of no more than
seven rows in the apron at 50 CFR
648.51(b)(4)(iv); the scallop observer
program requirement at § 648.11(g); and
would temporarily exempt the
participating vessel from possession
limits and minimum size requirements
specified in 50 CFR part 648,
subsections B and D through O, for
sampling purposes only. Any fishing
activity conducted outside the scope of
the exempted fishing activity would be
prohibited, including landing fish in
excess of a possession limit or below the
minimum size.
One vessel would conduct scallop
dredging in May 2016-October 2016 on
three trips in the Mid-Atlantic Access
Area. All trips would fish two 13-foot
(3.96-m) Turtle Deflector Dredges,
towed for an average duration of 50
minutes. Each trip would complete
approximately 150 tows for an overall
total of 450 tows. One dredge would be
rigged with an industry standard bag
comprised of 7 rows of rings from the
twine top to the terminus, while the
other would be rigged with an
experimental ‘‘box bag’’ configuration.
The experimental bag will consist of
two 3-ring wide side panels and one 3ring wide rear panel all connecting the
topside of the bag to the underside
creating a box-like bag. Both dredges
would use 4-inch (10.16-cm) rings, 10inch (25.40-cm) twine top, and turtle
chain mats.
For all tows, the scallop catch would
be kept separated by dredge and placed
into baskets, counted and weighed using
a certified electronic scale. The captain
and crew would then count the number
of scallops contained in a minimum of
one basket from each dredge, enabling
them to measure the size selectivity of
each dredge. Generally, the greater the
number of scallops in a basket, within
a reasonable range allowing for variance
in how the crew fill baskets, the smaller
the scallops are in size. This is a quick
and simple method to gauge whether or
not the experimental dredge is
achieving larger size selectivity without
having shell height measuring tools. If
this proof of concept study
preliminarily shows positive results and
the applicant would like to continue
research with the experimental dredge,
we would require a more scientifically

sound method to measure scallop shell
height. Crew would sort the finfish
catch by species and then count and
weigh them. Depending on the volume
of scallops and finfish captured, the
catch would be subsampled if
necessary. Finfish catch not retained for
sale would not be kept on deck for
longer than needed to conduct
sampling. Exemption from possession
limit and minimum sizes would support
catch sampling activities, and ensure
the vessel is not in conflict with
possession regulations while collecting
catch data. All catch above a possession
limit or below a minimum size would
be discarded as soon as practicable
following data collection. The vessel
would be exempt from the sea scallop
observer program requirements because
the gear used is not typical of gear used
during normal commercial fishing
operations. All trips would otherwise be
conducted in a manner consistent with
normal commercial fishing conditions,
and catch consistent with the Limited
Access possession limits for the MidAtlantic Access Area would be retained
for sale.
If approved, the applicant may
request minor modifications and
extensions to the EFP throughout the
year. EFP modifications and extensions
may be granted without further notice if
they are deemed essential to facilitate
completion of the proposed research
and have minimal impacts that do not
change the scope or impact of the
initially approved EFP request. Any
fishing activity conducted outside the
scope of the exempted fishing activity
would be prohibited.
