Atlantic Shark Catch Limits Get Boost for 2025 Fishing Season
Published Date: 4/16/2025
Rule
Summary
Starting January 1, 2025, commercial shark fishermen in the Atlantic get a boost! NMFS is increasing the shark catch limits for 2025 because fishermen didn’t catch their full quota in 2024. This means more chances to fish and potentially more money for those in the shark fishing business.

Increased 2025 Shark Quotas
If you are a commercial Atlantic shark fisherman, NMFS adjusted the 2025 base commercial quotas upward because fishermen did not catch the full quota in the 2024 fishing year. The 2025 Atlantic shark commercial fishing year opened on January 1, 2025, and this action gives you additional fishing opportunities and higher allowable catch to help harvest optimum yield.
