Description:

"This emergency action closes the Delmarva Scallop Access Area and redistributes vessel trips from this area to the Closed Area I Access Area for the 2012 fishing year. This closure prevents potentially high levels of scallop fishing in this area, which could reduce long- term scallop biomass and yield from Delmarva, and could compromise the overall success of the scallop area rotational management program"--Cover letter; Portfolio comprised of two related PDF documents digitized and organized by: NOAA Office of Program Planning and Integration (PPI) National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) staff.
