Description:"This Environmental Assessment evaluates the impacts on the human environment for an action that would: Replace the Gulf of Maine Rolling Closures with several seasonal 30-minute grids in the Gulf of Maine (GOM) Broad Stock Area (BSA). These Seasonal Interim Closure Areas would be closed to federally permitted vessels using commercial and recreational gear capable of catching cod (see Figure 4). Implement a GOM cod trip limit of 200 lb for sector vessels fishing in the remaining open areas of the broad stock area. The common pool trip limit would be reduced to 200 lb per trip. Prohibit possession of recreationally caught GOM cod. Restrict commercial limited access groundfish vessels that fish in the GOM BSA to fishing only in that broad stock area for the duration of the declared trip"--Executive summary (page 1).
