The document outlines an emergency action regarding the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery Management Plan (FMP), specifically the closure of the Delmarva Scallop Access Area for 2012 due to significantly lower than expected scallop biomass. It includes an environmental assessment and regulatory impact review prepared by the National Marine Fisheries Service. The primary purpose is to protect scallop recruitment and ensure sustainable fishing practices by reallocating trips from the closed DMV area to more productive areas, such as Closed Area I (CAI). The document discusses various alternatives, their potential impacts on scallop resources, non-target species, essential fish habitat, protected species, and human communities. It concludes that the proposed action will not significantly impact the quality of the human environment and supports long-term sustainability of the scallop fishery.
