NOAA Fisheries is seeking public comment on new measures that would enable fishery managers to adjust accountability measures put in place if annual catch limits are exceeded for southern and northern windowpane flounder. This intent of this action is to reduce some of the adverse economic impacts on the fishing industry associated with the accountability measures, while preventing overfishing of southern and northern windowpane flounder stocks.
