This book was released on 2019-01-12 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Law Library presents the complete text of the Highly Migratory Species - 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan - Amendment 8 (US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Regulation) (NOAA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 This final rule implements Amendment 8 to the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP). Amendment 8 to the 2006 Consolidated HMS FMP provides additional opportunities for U.S. fishermen to harvest swordfish using selective gears that are low in bycatch, given their rebuilt status and increased availability. This final rule creates new and modified commercial fishing vessel permits that allow permit holders to retain and sell a limited number of swordfish caught on rod and reel, handline, harpoon, green-stick, or bandit gear. Specific management measures under this final action include the establishment of a new open access commercial swordfish permit, modification of HMS Charter/Headboat permit regulations to allow for the commercial retention of swordfish on non-for-hire trips, regional swordfish retention limits for the new and modified permits, gear authorizations, and reporting requirements.

Book excerpt: The Law Library presents the complete text of the Atlantic Highly Migratory Species - 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan - Amendment 7 (US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Regulation) (NOAA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 This final rule implements Amendment 7 to the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan (2006 Consolidated HMS FMP) to ensure sustainable management of bluefin tuna consistent with the 2006 HMS FMP and address ongoing management challenges in the Atlantic bluefin tuna fisheries. This final rule also implements minor regulatory changes related to the management of Atlantic HMS. Amendment 7 management measures were developed by NMFS under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) and the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act (ATCA). This final rule: Allocates U.S. bluefin tuna quota among domestic fishing categories; implements measures applicable to the pelagic longline fishery, including Individual Bluefin Quotas (IBQs), two new Gear Restricted Areas, closure of the pelagic longline fishery when annual bluefin tuna quota is reached, elimination of target catch requirements associated with retention of incidental bluefin tuna in the pelagic longline fishery, mandatory retention of legal-sized bluefin tuna caught as bycatch, expanded monitoring requirements, including electronic monitoring via cameras and bluefin tuna catch reporting via Vessel Monitoring System (VMS), and transiting provisions for pelagic and bottom longline vessels; requires VMS use and reporting by the Purse Seine category; changes the start date of the Purse Seine category from July 15 to a date within a range of June 1 to August 15, to be established by an annual action; requires use of the Automated Catch Reporting System by the General and Harpoon categories; provides additional flexibility for inseason adjustment of the General category quota and Harpoon category retention limits; and changes the allocation of the Angling category Trophy South subquota for the Gulf of Mexico. Finally, this rule implements several measures not directly related to bluefin tuna management, including a U.S. North Atlantic albacore tuna quota; modified rules regarding permit category changes; and minor changes in the HMS regulations for administrative or clarification purposes.

This book was released on 2019-01-05 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Law Library presents the complete text of the Atlantic Highly Migratory Species - 2006 Consolidated Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan - Amendment 4 (US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Regulation) (NOAA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 This fishery management plan (FMP) amendment addresses Atlantic highly migratory species (HMS) fishery management measures in the U.S. Caribbean territories including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. There are substantial differences between some segments of the U.S. Caribbean HMS fisheries and the HMS fisheries that occur off the mainland of the United States, including: Limited fishing permit and dealer permit possession; smaller vessels; limited availability of processing and cold storage facilities; shorter trips; limited profit margins; and high local consumption of catches. These differences create an awkward fit between current federal HMS fishery regulations and the traditional operation of small-scale Caribbean HMS fisheries, and some small-scale commercial fishermen in the Caribbean may not be currently operating consistently with HMS fishing and dealer reporting requirements. NMFS is implementing management measures through this rulemaking that amend the HMS fishery management regulations in the U.S. Caribbean territories of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands to better manage the traditional small-scale commercial HMS fishing fleet in the U.S. Caribbean Region, enhance fishing opportunities and improve profits for the fleet, and to provide us with an improved capability to monitor and sustainably manage those fisheries. This final rule creates an HMS Commercial Caribbean Small Boat (CCSB) permit, which allows fishing for and sale of bigeye, albacore, yellowfin, and skipjack (BAYS) tunas, Atlantic swordfish, and Atlantic sharks within local U.S. Caribbean markets. Management measures under the CCSB permit include specific species authorizations and retention limits, reporting requirement modifications, specific gear authorizations, vessel size restrictions, and mandatory workshop training. Additionally, NMFS stipulates that the CCSB permit cannot be held in combination with any other HMS permit.

This book was released on 2019-01-10 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Law Library presents the complete text of the Atlantic Highly Migratory Species - Atlantic Shark Management Measures - Final Amendment 5b (US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Regulation) (NOAA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 NMFS is amending the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP) based on the results of the 2016 stock assessment update for Atlantic dusky sharks. Based on this assessment, NMFS determined that the dusky shark stock remains overfished and is experiencing overfishing. Consistent with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), NMFS is implementing management measures that will reduce fishing mortality on dusky sharks to end overfishing and rebuild the dusky shark population consistent with legal requirements. The final measures could affect HMS-permitted commercial and recreational fishermen who harvest sharks or whose fishing vessels interact with sharks in the Atlantic Ocean, including the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea.

Download or read book Final Amendment 5a to the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan Including a Final Environmental Impact Statement a Final Regulatory Impact Review a Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis a Final Social Impact Analysis written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Marine Fisheries Service is amending the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan based on several shark stock assessments that were completed from 2009 to 2012. The assessments for Atlantic blacknose, dusky, and scalloped hammerhead sharks indicated that these species are overfished and experiencing overfishing. The assessment for sandbar sharks indicated that this species is overfished, but not experiencing overfishing. The assessment for Gulf of Mexico blacktip sharks indicated that the stock is not overfished and not experiencing overfishing. NMFS did not accept the assessment for Gulf of Mexico blacknose sharks; therefore, the overfished and overfishing statuses have been determined to be unknown. After considering comments received during scoping and on a Predraft document, the Notice of Availability of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for Amendment 5 and the proposed rule published in the Federal Register on December 7, 2012 (77 FR 73029), and November 26, 2012 (77 FR 70552), respectively. The DEIS and proposed rule considered measures to reduce fishing mortality and effort in order to rebuild overfished Atlantic shark species while ensuring that a limited shark fishery can be maintained, consistent with all legal obligations. The Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) describes a range of alternatives that could impact shark fishermen and dealers, including new commercial quota limits consistent with stock assessment recommendations to prevent overfishing and rebuild overfished stocks and modification of recreational measures to limit the retention of overfished stocks. The DEIS also considered measures for dusky sharks to end overfishing and rebuild the stock based on a recent stock assessment, but after considering public comment, NMFS has decided that these measures require further analyses, which NMFS will conduct in an upcoming separate proposed action.

Book Final Amendment 9 to the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan

Download or read book Final Amendment 9 to the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan written by LeAnn Hogan and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Final Amendment 9 to the 2006 Consolidated Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan establishes smoothhound shark annual quotas based on recent stock assessments, implements the smoothhound shark-specific requirements of the 2012 Shark Biological Opinion, and modifies current regulations related to the use of Vessel Monitoring Systems by Atlantic shark fishermen using gillnet gear. Except for certain Shark Conservation Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-348) (SCA) provisions, which apply only to smooth dogfish (Mustelus canis), the management measures in Final Amendment 9 address "smoothhound sharks," which for purposes of this Amendment include smooth dogfish (Mustelus canis), Florida smoothhound (M. sinusmexicanus), and Gulf smoothhound (M. norrisi). The Final Amendment also implements the smooth dogfish-specific provisions in the SCA. The SCA requires that all sharks landed in the United States be landed with their fins and tail naturally attached to the carcass but includes a limited exception for smooth dogfish. For the federal Atlantic shark fisheries, current regulations already require all sharks to be landed with all fins naturally attached to the carcass, and the SCA's fins-attached requirement is being implemented nationwide through a separate ongoing rulemaking. Thus, this Final Amendment addresses only the provision contained in the SCA that allows at-sea fin removal of Atlantic smooth dogfish. The action will also establish an effective date for previously-adopted shark management measures finalized in Amendment 3 to the 2006 consolidated HMS FMP and the 2011 HMS Trawl Rule, although those measures were not developed through the Amendment 9 process.
