Summary

Amendment 34 to the CMP FMP would update the Atlantic migratory group king mackerel acceptable biological catch, annual catch limits, recreational annual catch targets, and sector allocations based on the Southeast Data, Assessment and Review 38 Update assessment (SEDAR 38 Update 2020). Additionally, Amendment 34 to the CMP FMP proposes changes to management measures for Atlantic king mackerel and Atlantic migratory group Spanish mackerel. At this time, there are no critical or other timing needs, and this action is not expected to be controversial. We are not aware of any specific alternative that is being advocated for or against by a relevant stakeholder or other interested party. There are no known litigation risks.
