Description:

"Framework 26 will set specifications for the scallop fishery for fishing year 2015, including days-at-sea (DAS) allocations, individual fishing quotas, and sea scallop access area trip allocations. This action sets precautionary default fishing year 2016 specifications in case we implement the next framework after the March 1, 2016, start of fishing year 2016, and we need transitional measures. In addition, Framework 26: Closes a portion of the Elephant Trunk Access Area and extends the boundaries of the Nantucket Lightship Access Area to protect small scallops; adjusts the State Waters Exemption Program; allows for vessel monitoring system declaration changes for vessels to steam home with product on board; implements a proactive accountability measure to protect windowpane flounder and yellowtail flounder; aligns two gear measures designed to protect sea turtles; and implements other measures to improve the management of the scallop fishery"--Cover letter summary.
