Description:"The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has prepared this supplemental analysis to evaluate potential impacts that would result from the proposed action to revise recreational management measures for Gulf of Maine (GOM) haddock for fishing year (FY) 2015. The FY 2014 recreational fisheries catch for GOM cod and haddock exceeded the sub-annual catch limits (ACL) established for the recreational fishery for both stocks. Additionally, the recreational sub- ACL for GOM cod will decline over 75 percent while the recreational sub-ACL for GOM haddock will increase over 200 percent. As outlined by the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (FMP), the Regional Administrator has authority to proactively adjust recreational management measures to ensure FY 2015 recreational catch does not exceed the GOM cod and haddock sub-ACLs in FY 2015"--Introduction (page 6).
