NOAA is proposing to change when certain fishing permits for swordfish and sharks in the Atlantic Ocean expire. Currently, fishermen with these special limited access permits have a deadline for when they must stop using them, and this proposal would adjust that deadline. This matters because it affects commercial fishermen who depend on catching these species and determines how long they can continue operating under their current permits before the rules change.
