Modification to possession limits and/or seasons for marine species regulated under quota


  1.  Beginning at 12:01 AM on November 27, 2019, NMFS is closing the directed fishery for Atlantic herring Management Area 1A, based on a projection that a threshold catch amount for the area has been reached. Though December 31, 2019, no person may, or attempt to, fish for, possess, transfer, receive, land, or sell more than 2,000 lb (907.2 kg) of Atlantic herring per trip or calendar day in or from Management Area 1A from a vessel issued and holding a valid Federal herring permit.
