Abstract
NMFS issues this final rule to implement measures contained in Framework Adjustment 14 to Amendment 5 of the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (FMP). This rule implements a spring closure for gillnet gear in the Revised Mid-coast Closure Area and establishes a new Cape Cod South Closure Area off Southern New England. The intent of this rule is to further reduce harbor porpoise mortality in the Gulf of Maine sink gillnet fishery to meet the New England Fishery Management Council's (Council) bycatch reduction goals.
