Description:

This final rule would implement regulations that divide the Atka mackerel total allowable catch (TAC) specified for the Aleutian Islands Subarea (AI) into two seasonal allowances; reduce the percentage of Atka mackerel TAC harvested from Steller sea lion critical habitat (CH) over a 4 year period in the Western and Central Districts of the AI; and extend the seasonal no-trawl zone around Seguam and Agligadak rookeries in the AI Eastern District into a year-round closure.
