Commercial Shark Quotas Set for Remainder of 2007 Season |
A new final rule establishes the 2007 second and third trimester seasons’ commercial quotas for large coastal sharks, small coastal sharks, and pelagic sharks. Adjustments are based on overharvests or underharvests from the 2006 second and third trimester seasons. In addition, this rule finalizes the opening and closing dates for the large coastal shark commercial fishery based on adjustments to the trimester quotas. The final rule also opens the existing mid-Atlantic shark closed area for two weeks at the end of July. For more information, contact Le*******************@no**.gov. |
