The National Marine Fisheries Service received an application for an EFP from Texas A&M University.
If granted, the EFP would allow harvest of speckled hind in the federal waters of the South Atlantic. The samples would be used to assess speckled hind population structure, connectivity, and life history. The EFP would be valid through August 31, 2022.
