| 00-11021 | Atlantic Coastal Fisheries Cooperative Management Act Provisions; Atlantic Coast Horseshoe Crab Fishery; Closed Area to Horseshoe Crab Fishing | Proposed Rule | NMFS announces that it is considering, and is seeking public comment on, a prohibition on fishing for horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus) in Federal waters (EEZ) in an area encompassing a 30- nautical mile (nm) (55.6 km) radius from the mouth of the Delaware Bay (measured from the territorial sea boundary midway between Cape May, New Jersey and Cape Henlopen, Delaware). NMFS would take such action, if appropriate, under the Atlantic Coastal Fisheries Cooperative Management Act (ACFCMA, 16 U.S.C. 5101 et seq.) with the purpose of conserving the Delaware Bay population of horseshoe crabs at a level that can sustain fisheries and provide a sufficient amount of horseshoe crab eggs for migratory shorebirds, which feed on such eggs. | 2000-05-03 | 2000 | 5 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/05/03/00-11021/atlantic-coastal-fisheries-cooperative-management-act-provisions-atlantic-coast-horseshoe-crab | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-05-03/pdf/00-11021.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | NMFS announces that it is considering, and is seeking public comment on, a prohibition on fishing for horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus) in Federal waters (EEZ) in an area encompassing a 30- nautical mile (nm) (55.6 km) radius from the mouth of the... |
