This approach would still ensure overall fishery accountability is maintained, but would minimize the disruption to sectors that may have used or planned on using carryover before the Court decision.
WASHINGTON — May 7, 2014 — The following was released by NOAA Fisheries:
We plan to revise our approach on fishing year (FY) 2013 carryover accounting. The revised approach would differ from our April 16, 2014, announcement in response to the U.S. District Court ruling in Conservation Law Foundation v. Pritzker, et al. Our revised approach would use a second tier of catch evaluation at the sector level before imposing accountability for carryover use. This approach would still ensure overall fishery accountability is maintained, but would minimize the disruption to sectors that may have used or planned on using carryover before the Court decision.
