Sfmt 9990
The draft amendment would revise
catch levels and annual catch limits for
both Dolphin and Wahoo, modify
allocations between recreational and
commercial sectors, and modify
recreational accountability measures
designed to help prevent exceeding
annual catch limits. These measures are
proposed in response to revised
recreational data estimates from the
NOAA Fisheries Marine Recreational
Information Program (MRIP) and
recalibration of numbers used to
establish Acceptable Biological Catches
for each species.
The amendment also includes
management alternatives to reduce
recreational retention limits for dolphin
and wahoo, eliminate a requirement for
Operator Cards in the for-hire and
commercial fisheries, address retention
of dolphin and wahoo onboard
permitted commercial vessels with
specified prohibited gears onboard, and
allow filleting of Dolphin at sea on
board charter or headboat vessels in
waters north of the Virginia/North
Carolina line.
During the public hearings, Council
staff will present an overview of the
amendment via webinar and answer
clarifying questions relevant to the
proposed actions. Members of the
