Comment from Jeff Page

Removal of Species from Fishery Management Unit I agree with the implementation of this portion of the Rule. Spiny Lobster ACL and Accountability Measure I agree with the implementation of this portion of the Rule. I also express concerns that there are no sector allocations and encourage allocations be set in the future of at least 26% recreational. Revisions to Federal Spiny Lobster Tail-Separation Permit Requirements I object to the implementation of this portion of the rule and would encourage the implementation of Alternative 2, elimination of all tailing permits. This rule allows shorts to be harvested by commercial harvesters and makes enforcement of the size limitation more difficult. Condition of Spiny Lobster Landed During a Fishing Trip I object to this portion of the Rule. All lobster should be landed whole. The theory behind rule of all whole or all tailed is flawed. All it requires is that once the first short lobster is tailed, all lobsters have to be tailed to hide the shorts. Use of Undersized Attractants I object to the use of shorts as attractants. Modification of Generic Framework Procedures I agree with the implementation of this portion of the Rule. Removal of Derelict Spiny Lobster Traps in the EEZ Off Florida I agree with the implementation of this portion of the Rule.
