Supplemental environmental assessment for the U.S. Northwest Atlantic trawl fishery in the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization's (NAFO) regulatory area

"This action would issue a High Seas Fishery Conservation Act permit for up to 10 U.S. vessels to participate in the Northeast Atlantic trawl fishery and catch species managed by the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO). An environmental assessment (EA) was originally developed in 2009 to analyze the impacts associated with U.S. fishing activity within the NAFO Regulatory Area. An update to that original EA is necessary to provide additional information on impacts to other species that may be caught by U.S. vessels, and to update the listing of sea turtles and Atlantic sturgeon under the Endangered Species Act"--Cover letter; Portfolio comprised of three related PDF documents digitized and organized by: NOAA Office of Program Planning and Integration (PPI) National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) staff.
