Congress 116th
Date Requested April 3, 2019
Requested By Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation
Date Sent May 7, 2019
Description:
S. 908 would require the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council to modify the fishery management plan for the commercial management of summer flounder within one year of the bill’s enactment. The modified plan would: •     Establish commercial quotas in direct proportion to the distribution, abundance, and location of summer flounder; Consider regional, coastwide, or other management measures for summer flounder; and   Require commercial catch quotas for summer flounder to reflect the most recent scientific information on summer flounder landings. Using information from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, CBO estimates that implementing S. 908 would cost $1 million in 2020. Any spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
