Comments Requested: 2025 Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Exempted Fishing and Related Permits

NOAA Fisheries intends to issue exempted fishing permits, scientific research permits, display permits, letters of acknowledgement, and shark research fishery permits for the research and collection of Atlantic highly migratory species in 2025.

Exempted fishing and related permits exempt permit holders from specific portions of regulations. These permits are issued for scientific research, data collection, the investigation of bycatch, and public display in Federal waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean Sea.

NOAA Fisheries will accept comments on exempted fishing and related permits through November 27, 2024. All comments received are a part of the public record.
