Description:Framework 2 to the Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish Fishery Management (FMP), prepared by the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council, is intended to manage the Atlantic mackerel, squid, and butterfish fisheries pursuant to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation Act (MSFCMA) of 1976, as amended by the Sustainable Fisheries Act (SFA). The purpose of this action is to address a number of issues and problems which have developed relative to the management of the Atlantic mackerel, squid, and butterfish Fisheries since the development and implementation of Amendment 8. Specifically, Framework 2 would extend the moratorium on entry to the //lex fishery for an additional year, include a provision that in the event the annual specifications for Atlantic mackerel, squid and butterfish are not published by the NMFS prior to the start of the fishing year, that the previous year's specifications will apply (excluding TALFF specifications), modify the control rule and quota setting procedure for Loligo, and would allow for an exemption from the 2500 pound Loligo trip limit for vessels in the //lex fishery during a closure of the directed Loligo fishery during the months of August and September.
