Framework Adjustment 38 to the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery Management Plan

Framework 38 would set management measures for the scallop fishery for the 2024 fishing year and default measures for fishing year 2025, including the annual catch limits for the limited access and limited access general category fleets, as well as days-at-sea allocations and
sea scallop access area trip allocations. The measures proposed in Framework 38 would result in projected landings of 27.4 million lb, a 2.4 million-lb increase from the fishing year 2023 projected landings.
