Abstract

In September 2021, the Council recommended that the National Marine Fisheries Service issue a single exempted fishing permit (EFP) covering the activities proposed in the applications submitted by Mr. John Bateman and Mr. Austen Brown. When issuing the EFP, associated Terms and Conditions should incorporate the protective measures described in the California Department of Fish and Wildlife Report, but with a maximum of 150 hooks per set (rather than the 75 hooks stated in the report), and the Enforcement Consultant Report, which were submitted under this agenda item. This notice solicits public comment on this Council recommendation.
