## Abstract

NMFS announces that the landings of large coastal sharks (LCS) in the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean Sea totaled 742.7 metric tons (mt) dressed weight (dw) during the first semiannual 2000 season. Because this constitutes an overharvest of 100 mt dw, the second semiannual 2000 LCS quota is reduced accordingly. NMFS also notifies eligible participants of the opening and closing of fishing seasons for Atlantic LCS, small coastal sharks (SCS), and pelagic sharks.
