Abstract
NMFS implements a closure in Federal waters off Georgia through New York for Atlantic migratory group cobia (Atlantic cobia) that are harvested and sold (commercial). Commercial landings of Atlantic cobia are projected to reach the commercial quota on December 18, 2024. Therefore, NMFS closes the commercial sector for Atlantic cobia in Federal waters. This closure is necessary to protect the Atlantic cobia resource.
