ACTION: Notice; proposed incidental
harassment authorization; request for
comments and information.
The Mid-Atlantic Fishery
Management Council’s Atlantic
Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish (MSB)
Committee will meet jointly with the
MSB Advisory Panel to develop
recommendations on alternatives to
include in an Amendment that could
affect the squid fisheries. The
amendment could reduce the capacities
of the longfin squid and Illex squid
fleets. The Council is considering this
action because of concern that
activation of latent capacity in the squid
fisheries could lead to excessive fishing
effort and increased catch of non-target
species. Several other issues are being
considered as well: (1) New permits for
Maine/northern states; (2) re-evaluation
of longfin squid trimesters; (3) longfin
squid buffer zones beyond state waters
in the area south of Martha’s Vineyard/
Nantucket; and (4) revision of the goals
and objectives of the MSB Fishery
Management Plan. A detailed agenda
and background documents will be
made available on the Council’s Web
site, at www.mafmc.org, prior to the
meeting. Additional information is also
available at the Web page for this action:

These meetings are physically
accessible to people with disabilities.

NMFS has received a request

and Tetra Tech, Inc. (Tetra Tech), on

Protection Act (MMPA), NMFS is
