Given that yelloweye rockfish is still rebuilding, the Council considered establishing new YRCAs in the event that yelloweye rockfish bycatch increases with increased fishing access to the Non- Trawl RCA. Amendment 32 and this final rule establishes four new YRCAs seaward of Oregon: (1) Tillamook YRCA; (2) Newport YRCA; (3) Florence YRCA; and (4) Heceta Bank YRCA. Within the YRCAs, restrictions apply to both commercial groundfish non-trawl fisheries and the non-tribal directed commercial Pacific halibut fishery.&quot;<br /></div><div><a href='https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2023-12-01/pdf/2023-25905.pdf' rel='nofollow ugc' target='_blank'>https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2023-12-01/pdf/2023-25905.pdf</a><br /></div>
