National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration October 1, 2008 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Sea Turtle Conservation; Shrimp Trawling Requirements
Document Number: E8-23117
Type: Rule
Date: 2008-10-01
Agency: Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
NMFS issues this temporary rule for a period of 30 days, to allow shrimp fishermen to use limited tow times as an alternative to Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) in state and Federal waters offshore of Louisiana (from the Mississippi/Louisiana boundary to the Texas/ Louisiana boundary) extending offshore 20 nautical miles. This action is necessary because environmental conditions resulting from Hurricanes Gustav and Ike are preventing some fishermen from using TEDs effectively.
