Description:"This document was prepared by the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council (Council) in consultation with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The purpose of this action (specifications document) is to implement commercial quotas for the tilefish fishery in 2015, 2016, and 2017 that are necessary to prevent overfishing and ensure annual catch limits (ACLs) are not exceeded. This specifications document was developed in accordance with all applicable laws and statutes as described in section 8.0 and the document details all management alternatives for the tilefish fishery for a three year period (2015-2017). Under the FMP, if no action is taken to set specifications, the continuation of harvest level specified in the tilefish fishing regulations (1.995 M lb or 905 mt)1 would continue. The proposed actions in this specifications document only consider modifications of the commercial quotas for 2015, 2016, and 2017 (Box ES-1). The Council did not recommend changes to other regulations in place for this fishery. Therefore, any other fishery management measures in place will remain unchanged (status quo) for the 2015- 2017 fishing years"--Executive summary (page ii).
