Description:

"The Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Plan is amended to modify the required minimum number of traps per trawl in state waters of Rhode Island and Massachusetts. A ơ mile buffer is also proposed for waters surrounding the Isle of Shoals and Matinicus Island group in Maine waters. Those fishing in the buffer are exempt from the minimum number of traps per trawl requirement. In addition the Plan will include an updated gear marking scheme with unique marks for those fishing singles in the proposed exempted areas and a unique mark for both gillnets and trap/pots fished in Jeffreys Ledge and Jordan Basin"--Cover letter summary.
