| 07-6252 | Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Fisheries; 2008 Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Specifications; Preliminary 2008 Quota Adjustments; 2008 Summer Flounder Quota for Delaware | Rule | NMFS issues final specifications for the 2008 summer flounder, scup, and black sea bass fisheries. This final rule specifies allowed harvest limits for both commercial and recreational fisheries, including commercial scup possession limits. This action prohibits federally permitted commercial vessels from landing summer flounder in Delaware in 2008 due to continued quota repayment from previous years' overages. The actions of this final rule are necessary to comply with regulations implementing the Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Fishery Management Plan (FMP), as well as to ensure compliance with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson- Stevens Act). The intent of this action is to establish harvest levels and other management measures to ensure that target fishing mortality rates (F) or exploitation rates, as specified for these species in the FMP, are not exceeded. In addition, this action implements measures that ensure continued rebuilding of these three overfished species and ends overfishing in the summer flounder fishery. | 2007-12-31 | 2007 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2007/12/31/07-6252/fisheries-of-the-northeastern-united-states-summer-flounder-scup-and-black-sea-bass-fisheries-2008 | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2007-12-31/pdf/07-6252.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | NMFS issues final specifications for the 2008 summer flounder, scup, and black sea bass fisheries.
