| 98-33483 | Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Amendment 7 to the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery Management Plan | Proposed Rule | NMFS proposes regulations to implement proposed Amendment 7 to the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery. Amendment 7 and these proposed regulations would reduce the fishing mortality rate in the Atlantic sea scallop fishery to eliminate overfishing and rebuild the biomass in accordance with the requirements of the Sustainable Fisheries Act (SFA). Amendment 7 and these proposed regulations would substantially reduce the level of fishing for Atlantic sea scallops in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) through fishing year 2008 by revising the fishing effort reduction schedule presently in effect by significantly reducing the allowable days-at-sea (DAS) for Atlantic sea scallop vessels starting with fishing year 2000. A less severe reduction is proposed for fishing year 1999. In addition, Amendment 7 and these proposed regulations would implement an annual monitoring process, increase the types of management measures that would be put into effect through framework adjustments, and continue two Mid-Atlantic closed areas until March 1, 2001. The intent of Amendment 7 and these proposed regulations is to eliminate overfishing and rebuild the stocks. | 1998-12-18 | 1998 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1998/12/18/98-33483/fisheries-of-the-northeastern-united-states-amendment-7-to-the-atlantic-sea-scallop-fishery | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1998-12-18/pdf/98-33483.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | NMFS proposes regulations to implement proposed Amendment 7 to the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery.
