Abstract

This rulemaking proposes gear marking requirements and entanglement risk reduction measures for the non-tribal, commercial non-trawl, Pacific coast groundfish fishery, including a single line allowance for marking bottom-tending longline and pot gears. This rulemaking consists of mandatory requirements and voluntary measures. Specifically, measures proposed in this rule would apply to non-tribal commercial vessels harvesting groundfish with pot and bottom longline gears.
