Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Recreational Landings and Bluefin Tuna Catch Reports

This request is for the extension of a currently approved information collection. This information collection consists of a mandatory catch reporting program in the recreational fishery for Atlantic bluefin tuna, swordfish, blue marlin, white marlin, and sailfish. Anglers harvesting these species must report through a toll-free telephone system, an Internet site, phone app, or through landing card programs administered by Maryland or North Carolina. Catch monitoring and collection of catch and effort statistics in these fisheries are required under the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The information collected through this program is essential for the United States to meet its reporting obligations to the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) and to assure the harvest of these species remains within ICCAT required quotas and landings limits.
