## Abstract

NMFS announces reductions in the cumulative vessel trip limits for longspine and shortspine thornyheads in the groundfish fishery off Washington, Oregon, and California. This action is authorized by the regulations implementing the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan. The trip limits are intended to keep landings from exceeding the 1995 harvest guidelines for longspine thornyheads and the overfishing level for shortspine thornyheads, while extending the fishery as long as possible during the year.
