Participants in the groundfish
fisheries in the Exclusive Economic Zone off the coast of Alaska
are required to mark identification information on marker buoys for
hook-and-line, longline pot, and pot-and-line gear. The information
is needed for fishery enforcement purposes. Cooperating fishermen
also use the gear identification to report placement or occurrence
of gear in unauthorized areas. Fishermen marking their gear
correctly ultimately benefit, as unauthorized and illegal fishing
is deterred and more burdensome regulations are avoided. Per
Proposed Rule 0648-BD66, the vessel's name will no longer be
required on the marker buoy.
PL:
Pub.L. 94 - 265 303 Name of Law: Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act of 2006
Removing the requirement to
paint the vessel name on the marker buoy results in a total
decrease of 613 hours.
