NOAA is updating rules for how king crabs and tanner crabs can be caught in Alaska's Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands waters. The proposal makes changes to the existing fishing management plan, though the specific details of what's changing aren't provided in this announcement. This affects commercial crab fishermen who work in these waters and potentially seafood consumers who buy these crabs, since any new rules could change how many crabs can be caught or how fishing happens.
