Recreational Measures Setting Process Framework Framework 19 to the Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Fishery Management Plan, Framework 7 to the Bluefish Fishery Management Plan : Environmental Assessment, Regulatory Impact Review, and Initial Regulatory Flexibility Act Analysis

The purpose of this action, which was developed by the Council and the Commission, is to consider the process for setting recreational measures for summer flounder, scup, black sea bass, and bluefish for 2026 and beyond. This action is needed because the current process for setting recreational measures (i.e., the Percent Change Approach) will sunset at the end of 2025.
