Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; 2012 Atlantic Shark Commercial Fishing Season

Document Number: 2012-1337

Type: Rule

Date: 2012-01-24

Agency: Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

This final rule establishes the opening dates and adjusts quotas for the 2012 fishing season for the Atlantic commercial shark fisheries. Quotas were adjusted based on over- and/or underharvests experienced during the 2010 and 2011 Atlantic commercial shark fishing seasons. In addition, NMFS is using previously-implemented adaptive management measures to provide, to the extent practicable, fishing opportunities for commercial shark fishermen in all regions and areas to determine the opening dates. These actions are expected to provide fishing opportunities for commercial shark fishermen in the northwestern Atlantic, including the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean.
