- Establishment of Sea Scallop Access Areas within Northeast multispecies Closed Area I, Closed Area II, and the Nantucket Lightship Closed Area. The Joint Frameworks authorize the scallop fishery to access the scallop resource within portions of the NE multispecies closed areas during specified seasons, and ensure that NE multispecies catches by scallop vessels are consistent with the Multispecies FMP.
- Revision of the Essential Fish Habitat closed areas implemented under Amendment 10 to the Scallop FMP in order to make the areas consistent with the EFH closures under the Multispecies FMP, as established by Amendment 13 to the Multispecies FMP.
