NMFS announces an inseason action for the Pacific halibut recreational fishery in the International Pacific Halibut Commission's (IPHC) regulatory Area 2A. This action adds fishing dates in August and September in the Columbia River and Washington subareas. These actions are intended to provide additional fishing opportunity for anglers in 2026 and are necessary to achieve the overall recreational fishery allocations for Area 2A established in the Pacific Fishery Management Council's (Council) 2026 Pacific Halibut Catch Sharing Plan and the 2026 IPHC regulations.
해수부, 양식산업발전계획에 기후변화 영향·대응 방안 의무화해양수산부는 23일 양식업의 기후 변화 대응력을 높이고 신재생에너지 설비 지원과 행정 절차 간소화 근거를 마련한 양식산업발전법 개정안이 국회 본회의를 통과했다고 밝혔다.개정안은 기후 변화에 의한 양식 생산의 불안정성 확대와 에너지 비용 상승 등 변화하는 양식업 환경에 대응하고, 까다로운 행정 절차를 개선하기 위해 마련됐다.개정안에 따라 앞으로 수립되는 양식산업발전기본계획에 고수온 등 기후 변화가 양식업에 미치는 영향과 구체적인 대응 방안을 의무적으로 포함하도록 했다.이를 통해
NMFS proposes to implement annual catch limits (ACL) and an accountability measure (AM) for the Hawaii deepwater shrimp and precious coral fisheries for each fishing year from 2026 to 2028. As a post-season AM, NMFS proposes to determine whether the average catch of any stock from the most recent 3 years exceeds an ACL and reduce the ACL for that stock for the subsequent fishing year by the amount of any overage. The proposed ACLs and AMs are unchanged from past measures implemented for the fisheries. This proposed rule supports the long- term sustainability of Hawaii deepwater shrimp and precious coral.
NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for Pacific ocean perch in the West Yakutat District of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). This action is necessary to prevent exceeding the 2026 total allowable catch (TAC) of Pacific ocean perch in the West Yakutat District of the GOA.
NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for dusky rockfish in the West Yakutat District of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). This action is necessary to prevent exceeding the 2026 total allowable catch (TAC) of dusky rockfish in the West Yakutat District of the GOA.
NMFS proposes to implement management measures described in Framework Amendment 14 under the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for the Coastal Migratory Pelagic (CMP) Resources in the Gulf and Atlantic Region, as prepared by the Gulf and South Atlantic Fishery Management Councils (Councils). If implemented, this proposed rule would modify the annual catch limit (ACL) for the Gulf migratory group of Spanish mackerel (Spanish mackerel) in the Gulf of America (Gulf) based on the results of the most recent stock assessment. Additionally, this proposed rule would modify the current accountability measure (AM) for Gulf Spanish mackerel from an in-season closure AM to a post-season AM. The purpose of these regulatory changes is to ensure the stock ACL and AM are based on the best scientific information available and to achieve optimum yield (OY).
This final rule implements regulations for amendment 36 to the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (Groundfish FMP). The regulations include management measures that apply to vessels registered to limited entry fixed gear (LEFG) endorsed permits and LEFG permit owners in the Pacific Coast groundfish fishery. Specifically, NMFS will: add flexibility to the LEFG permits' gear endorsements; remove the base permit designation of LEFG permits; remove the start and end times (i.e., hours of the day) for the open dates of the primary sablefish season; and develop a cost recovery program for the LEFG primary sablefish fishery. The purpose of this action is to provide increased flexibility to LEFG participants while reducing administrative burdens, and to develop a cost recovery program to meet the requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act).
Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), in partnership with the Manitoba government, has completed the second aquatic invasive species (AIS) roadside inspection blitz of the 2026 summer season. The operation took place on Highway 1 (the Trans-Canada Highway) near the Manitoba-Ontario border, from June 19 to 21, 2026. These inspections support ongoing efforts to protect freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity by intercepting vehicles transporting watercraft and equipment that may carry aquatic invasive species, including Zebra and Quagga Mussels.
