PERMANENT RULES
FISH AND WILDLIFE
Effective Date of Rule: Thirty-one days after filing.
Purpose: These rule changes will protect rockfish stocks in Puget Sound.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: These changes are needed to comply with provisions [of] the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and to provide protection for rockfish species in Puget Sound. On July 27, 2010, a federal decision to list two species of rockfish as threatened, and one species of rockfish as endangered, in Puget Sound became effective. The intent of these regulations is to comply with the ESA and to protect the listed species from capture in these fisheries. While the ESA listing does not cover all of Puget Sound, the agency has concluded it is necessary to make these restrictions effective in all Puget Sound marine fish-shellfish management and catch reporting areas due to concern that leaving a small portion of Puget Sound open to these commercial fishing gears will concentrate fishing effort in that area, leading to challenges with conservation and conducting an orderly fishery.
