Summary

Dolphin Wahoo 1 would establish commercial trip limits after a certain percentage of the total commercial sector annual catch limit has been met. These commercial trip limits would enable the commercial sector of the fishery to maintain optimum yield and would prevent potential socio-economic impacts caused by an early closure of the fishery.
