This action increases the Atlantic herring Area 1A sub-annual catch limit (ACL) and the ACL for the remainder of fishing year 2024. Because NOAA Fisheries determined herring landings in the New Brunswick weir fishery were less than 2,722 mt through October 1, 2024, we subtracted 1,000 mt from the management uncertainty buffer and re-allocated it to the herring Area 1A sub-ACL and the ACL.
