## Abstract

In accordance with the regulations implementing the Atlantic Herring Fishery Management Plan, this action adjusts the 2024 harvest specifications for the herring fishery. Specifically, it adjusts catch limits in herring management areas 1A, 1B, and 2 to account for catch overages and an underage in those areas during 2022. This action is necessary to help prevent overfishing and support the harvest of optimum yield consistent with the requirements of the Fishery Management Plan.
