Exemption from DAS requirements implemented by the NE Multispecies FMP (e.g., reductions and any differential DAS counting areas implemented as an AM). 2. Exemption from trip limits on regulated large mesh multispecies except for the following: a. Halibut: trip limit will continue to be one fish per trip; b. No vessels, whether they are in the common pool or in any sector will be allowed to possess any windowpane flounder, ocean pout, wolffish, or SNE/MA winter flounder on board at any time. When caught, they must be discarded. 3. Exemption from the Georges Bank Seasonal Closure Area in May. 4.
