Northern Zone--North Carolina/Virginia border to the Volusia/
Flagler line (29 deg.25' N. lat.)
Middle Zone--29 deg.25' N. lat. to 25 deg. N. lat.
Southern Zone--South of 25 deg. N. lat. to the South Atlantic/Gulf
of Mexico Fishery Management Council border.
Criteria for access into the fishery would be documented landings
by April 7, 1995, for access into the middle and southern zones and
documented landings by September 1, 1995, for access into the northern
zone. Documented landings must come from the Council's area of
jurisdiction.
The Council also will discuss withdrawing the emergency action
request and proceeding expediently with the fishery management plan.
