Abstract
NMFS issues final specifications for the 2001 summer flounder fishery and makes preliminary adjustments to the 2001 commercial quotas for this fishery. The intent of this action is to comply with implementing regulations for the Fishery Management Plan for the Summer Flounder Fishery (FMP), which requires NMFS to publish measures for the upcoming fishing year that will prevent overfishing of this fishery.
