This final rule establishes Deepwater Coral Habitat Areas of Particular Concern (Deepwater Coral HAPCs) off the coast of the southern Atlantic states in which the use of specified fishing gear and methods and the possession of coral is prohibited. Within the Deepwater Coral HAPCs, fishing zones have been established that allow continued fishing on the historical grounds for golden crab and deepwater shrimp. This rule protects what is thought to be the largest distribution of pristine deepwater coral ecosystems in the world while minimizing the effects on traditional fishing in the Deepwater Coral HAPCs. Additionally, the amendment updates existing Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) information in the area off the southern Atlantic states, thus, addressing the need for spatial representation of designated EFH and EFH-HAPCs. 75 FR 35330 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2010-06-22/2010-15069 2010-15069 FR22JN10-12 RIN 0648-AY32 3510-22-P Docket No. 0911051395-0252-02 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2010-06-22/2010-15069 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2010-06-22/html/2010-15069.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2010-06-22/pdf/2010-15069.pdf Fisheries Fishing Puerto Rico Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements Virgin Islands 6 p. 35330 35335 75 FR 35330 Title 50 Part 622 50 CFR Part 622 RIN 0648-AY32 Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and South Atlantic; Comprehensive Ecosystem-Based Amendment for the South Atlantic Region; Federal Register Vol. 75, Issue RULE 2010-15069 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 2010-07-22 Docket No. 0911051395-0252-02 3510-22-P 2010-15069 Final rule.
