Abstract
NMFS announces changes to the regulations for the Area 2A sport halibut fisheries off the south coast of Washington. This action would change the days and the area open to halibut fishing along the south coast. The purpose of this action is to allow continued access to Washington's south coast halibut quota while reducing the likelihood of yelloweye rockfish interception.
