## Abstract

NMFS closes the drift gillnet fishery for swordfish in the Atlantic Ocean, including the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. NMFS has determined that the second semi-annual quota for swordfish that may be harvested by drift gillnet will be reached on or before July 14, 1995. This closure is necessary to prevent exceeding the quota of swordfish caught by drift gillnet vessels.
