Please find the attached comments submitted on behalf of the Natural Resources Defense Council, Ocean Conservancy, Earthjustice, and Conservation Law Foundation regarding the proposed 2025 specifications for the black sea bass fishery. Thank you for your consideration.

Abstract

NMFS proposes 2025 specifications for the summer flounder, scup, black sea bass, and bluefish fisheries. The implementing regulations for the Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Fishery Management Plan and the Bluefish Fishery Management Plan require us to publish specifications for the upcoming fishing year for each of these species and to provide an opportunity for public comment. The proposed specifications establish allowable harvest levels for these species that will prevent overfishing, consistent with the most recent scientific information.
