Abstract
This final rule establishes the 2007 second and third trimester seasons commercial quotas for large coastal sharks (LCS), small coastal sharks (SCS), and pelagic sharks based on over- or underharvests from the 2006 second and third trimester seasons. In addition, this rule finalizes the opening and closing dates for the LCS commercial fishery based on adjustments to the trimester quotas. The final rule also opens the existing mid-Atlantic shark closed area for two weeks at the end of July.
