Jensen Communiciations, Inc. provides the following information to assist commercial fishermen with the NMFS regulations.  Please note that it is the fisherman's responsibility to validate this information.  Links will be provided where available.  Please double check the boundaries of areas you will be fishing in to confirm accuracy.  The paper copy of the Federal Register is the "final rule" if there is a discrepancy in any version of the points used.

We will make every effort to check for these errors as we process the information and make data files for your computer plotters, but again, boat owners and their captains are responsible for verifying this information is correct.

 

We highly recommend you back up any existing data on your plotter before installing any data file.
