Please accept these comments on behalf of the Garden State Seafood Association (GSSA); GSSA is comprised of commercial fishermen, shore-based processors, commercial dock facilities, seafood markets, restaurants, and various industry support businesses from New Jersey.
We support Option A in the December 19th FR notice, which will allow the clam industry to fish in all area on GB except CA I & II.
Georges Bank has significant levels of clams that that can provide income to the fishing industry and associated communities in New England and the Mid Atlantic.
