ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This notice announces that
NMFS, acting on behalf of the Secretary
of Commerce (Secretary), has found that
Northwest Atlantic porbeagle is still
overfished.
SUMMARY:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kathryn Frens, (301) 427–8523.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to section 304(e)(2) of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens
Act), 16 U.S.C. 1854(e)(2), NMFS, on
behalf of the Secretary, must publish a
notice in the Federal Register whenever
it determines that a stock or stock
complex is subject to overfishing,
overfished, or approaching an
overfished condition.
NMFS has determined that Northwest
Atlantic porbeagle is still overfished.
This determination is based on the most
recent assessment, conducted in 2020
and using data through 2018, which
indicates that this stock is overfished
because the biomass is below the
threshold. NMFS manages Northwest
Atlantic porbeagle sharks under the
2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly
Migratory Species Fishery Management
Plan and its amendments. NMFS
continues to work with the International
Commission for the Conservation of
Atlantic Tunas to rebuild this stock
through an international rebuilding
program.

managers to assess a reserve’s success in
