The 2025 proposed Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) List of Fisheries is available for public inspection today and will publish in the Federal Register on September 24th. The MMPA requires NOAA Fisheries to publish an annual list of commercial fisheries and classify each fishery based on whether it has frequent (Category I), occasional (Category II), or remote likelihood (Category III) of incidental mortality and serious injury of marine mammals.
The proposed rule can be found here.
We are accepting comments on the 2025 proposed List of Fisheries through October 24, 2024.
