I. Abstract
This request is for an extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(MSFMCA, 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) the
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) is to ensure that conservation
and management measures promote, to
the extent practicable, implementation
of scientific research programs that
include the tagging and releasing of
Atlantic highly migratory species
(HMS). The currently approved
information collection allows the public
to submit volunteered geographic and
biological information relating to HMS
releases in order to populate an
interactive Web site mapping tool. This
Web page attracts visitors who are
interested in Atlantic HMS and contains
information and links to promote HMS
tagging programs that the general public
can support or become involved with.
All submissions are voluntary.
Information is used to raise awareness
for releasing Atlantic HMS and HMS
tagging programs, and is not used as
representative results.
