Description:The purpose of Regulatory Amendment 16 is to reevaluate the annual November 1 through April 30 prohibition on the use of black sea bass pot gear, and enhance buoy line/weak link gear requirements and buoy line rope marking for black sea bass pots required by the Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Plan. The need for the amendment is to reduce the adverse socioeconomic impacts resulting from the annual November 1 through April 30 prohibition on the use of black sea bass pot gear and increase the flexibility of black sea bass pot endorsement holders to fish with this gear while continuing to protect ESA-listed whales in the South Atlantic region; and reduce the adverse effects on whales if entangled and help identify black sea bass pot lines used in the South Atlantic
