Amendment 10 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Dolphin Wahoo Fishery of the Atlantic

The purpose of Amendment 10 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Dolphin Wahoo Fishery for the Atlantic (Dolphin Wahoo Amendment 10) is to revise the catch levels [acceptable biological catch (ABC), annual catch limits (ACL)], accountability measures, sector allocations, and management measures for dolphin and wahoo. The revisions to the ABC and ACL include recreational landings from Monroe County, Florida, and incorporate recreational data as per the Marine Recreational Information Program using the Fishery Effort Survey method, as well as updates to commercial and for-hire landings. Management measures address authorized gear, operator card requirement, recreational vessel limits, and allow fillets of dolphin at sea onboard for-hire vessels.
