NMFS announces 2026 specifications and projects 2027 and 2028 specifications for the Northeast skate fishery as recommended by the New England Fishery Management Council. This action sets skate catch limits for fishing year 2026, projects catch limits for fishing years 2027 and 2028, and increases trip possession limits for the wing and bait fisheries. This action is necessary to establish skate specifications consistent with the most recent scientific information. The intent of this action is to establish appropriate catch limits for the skate fishery, while providing additional operational flexibility to fishery participants.
Fishing is more than an industry in Newfoundland and Labrador—it is a way of life, deeply rooted in the history, culture, and identity of the province. For generations, Northern cod has been central to our story and the decision for Northern cod (2J3KL) will help support a year-round commercial Northern cod fishery.
On June 8, 2026, we, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), published a document reopening the comment period and announcing a public hearing for the southern hognose snake. That document included an incorrect date for the public hearing in the DATES section. This document corrects that error.
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), are removing the northeastern bulrush (Scirpus ancistrochaetus) from the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Plants. Our review of the best scientific and commercial data available indicates that the threats to the northeastern bulrush have been eliminated or reduced to the point that the species no longer meets the definition of an endangered or threatened species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). Accordingly, the prohibitions and conservation measures provided by the Act, particularly through sections 7 and 9, will no longer apply to the northeastern bulrush.
[ESG경제신문=김제원 기자] 기후변화와 오염, 남획으로 해양 생태계 악화가 빨라지면서 바다 위기가 식량과 산업 전반의 문제로 번지고 있다는 분석이 나왔다. 바다에서 나오는 수산물 공급이 흔들릴 수 있는 데다, 해수면 상승과 산호초 훼손이 관광·물류·에너지 산업에도 부담이 될 것으로 보인다.UN은 8일(현지시각)제3차 세계 해양 평가 보고서를 공개했다. 보고서에 따르면 바다는 지구 표면의 70% 이상을 차지하며 기후를 조절하고, 식량과 에너지, 광물자원을 제공하는 중요한 역할을 한다. 하지만 최근 기후변화, 오염, 남획, 생물다양성
With the world’s longest coastline, and three oceans—the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic—Canada understands the complexity and urgency of ocean stewardship. Canadian communities—coastal, northern, Indigenous, rural, and urban—are deeply connected to our oceans. The oceans define the culture and identity of our coastal communities and drive economic prosperity for our people.
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), are reopening the comment period on our August 29, 2025, proposed rule to list the southern hognose snake (Heterodon simus), a small, fossorial snake species from the coastal plains and sandhills across the southeastern United States, as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act) with protective regulations under section 4(d) of the Act (proposed rule). We are taking this action to conduct a public hearing and to allow all interested parties an additional opportunity to comment on the proposed rule. Comments previously submitted on the proposed rule need not be resubmitted and will be fully considered in our development of the final rule.
