## Abstract

NMFS implements an accountability measure for the commercial sector of gag in South Atlantic Federal waters. NMFS projects that commercial landings of gag will reach the adjusted commercial quota for 2024. Therefore, NMFS closes the commercial sector of gag in South Atlantic Federal waters to protect the gag resource from overfishing.
