Purpose and Reason:

The purpose of this filing is to adopt regulatory amendments via emergency rule making to come into compliance with federal requirements by prohibiting the possession and/or importation of non-indigenous (non-native) horseshoe crab species within the State of Rhode Island

Brief statement of Reason for Finding Imminent Peril:

Rhode Island is compelled to promulgate regulations to implement fishery management plans that have been adopted by the ASMFC. Recently, the ASMFC has adopted an addendum to their Horseshoe Crab fishery management plan, which contains a number of management changes that need to be adopted by the states.
