## Abstract

NMFS announces adjustments to the management measures for the Pacific coast groundfish fishery off Washington, Oregon, and California. This action will reduce the limited entry trip limits for thornyheads, establish beginning and ending dates and trip limits applicable to the mop-up fishery for nontrawl limited entry sablefish, and set trip limits for the nontrawl limited entry sablefish fishery after the mop-up fishery. These actions are intended to extend the thornyhead fishery as long as possible during the year, and to provide for harvest of the remainder of the limited entry nontrawl allocation for sablefish.
