| 96-32387 | Atlantic Shark Fisheries; Quotas, Bag Limits, Prohibitions, and Requirements. | Proposed Rule | NMFS proposes changes to the regulations governing the Atlantic shark fisheries that would: Reduce commercial quotas and recreational bag limits; establish a quota for small coastal sharks; prohibit directed commercial fishing for, and landing or sale of, five species of sharks; establish a recreational tag-and-release only fishery for white sharks; prohibit filleting of sharks at sea; and restate the requirement for species-specific identification by all owners or operators, dealers, and tournament operators of all sharks landed under the framework provisions of the Fishery Management Plan for Sharks of the Atlantic Ocean (FMP). This rule would reduce effective fishing mortality, facilitate enforcement, and improve management. DATES: Written comments on this proposed rule are invited and must be received on or before Janaury 21, 1997. | 1996-12-20 | 1996 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1996/12/20/96-32387/atlantic-shark-fisheries-quotas-bag-limits-prohibitions-and-requirements | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1996-12-20/pdf/96-32387.pdf | Commerce Department | 54 | NMFS proposes changes to the regulations governing the Atlantic shark fisheries that would: Reduce commercial quotas and recreational bag limits; establish a quota for small coastal sharks; prohibit directed commercial fishing for, and landing or sale... |
