Description:"This final rule modifies existing recreational bag and possession limits for Pacific bluefin tuna (PBF) in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) off California and establishes at-sea filleting requirements for any tuna species in the U.S. EEZ south of Point Conception, Santa Barbara County. These actions are based on a recommendation of the Pacific Fishery Management Council and are being implemented under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. This rule is intended to conserve PBF, which is overfished and subject to overfishing. The final rule is consistent with Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) Resolution C-14-06, Measures for the Conservation and Management of Bluefin Tuna in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, 2015-2016, and with the IATTC scientific staff's conservation recommendations for reductions in PBF fishing mortality to aid in rebuilding the stock. Impacts to the human environment (e.g., effects of the proposed action alternatives on the natural environment and the socioeconomic environment) were found to be insignificant"--Cover letter summary.
