Summary

Framework Adjustment 57 sets catch limits for 20 groundfish stocks, adjusts allocations for several fisheries, revises accountability measures for groundfish catch in groundfish and non-groundfish fisheries, and makes other minor changes to groundfish management measures.

We intend to implement the approved Framework 57 measures for the start of the 2018 fishing year on May 1, 2018.
