This book was released on 2016 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Western Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) recommended that the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) amend federal regulations governing the American Samoa pelagic longline fishery to provide an exemption for longline vessels 50 ft and longer holding an American Samoa longline limited entry permit to fish within certain portions of the large vessel prohibited area (LVPA), see 50 CFR 665.806). Federal regulations prohibit large vessels, defined at 50 CFR 665.12, as vessels equal to or greater than 50 ft in length, from fishing for pelagic management unit species within the LVPA. The proposed action (Alternative 4c) allows large longline vessels to fish inside the LVPA seaward of 12 nm of Swains Island, and Tutuila and Manua Islands. NMFS will continue to prohibit fishing in the LVPA by large purse seine vessels. The fishing requirements for the Rose Atoll Marine National Monument remain unchanged. The Council and NMFS will review annually the effects of the action on catch rates of all pelagic fishery participants, small vessel participation in pelagic fisheries, and sustainable fisheries development initiatives. The action allows large U.S. longline vessels to fish over an additional 16,817 nm2 of ocean total, thereby reducing the total area of the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) around American Samoa that is closed to large longline vessels from 25.5 to 11.3%. The purpose of this action is to provide regulatory relief to large longline vessels in order to improve the efficiency of the American Samoa longline fleet and to promote its economic viability while ensuring fishing by the longline and small vessel fleets remain sustainable on a continual basis.

NMFS will continue to prohibit fishing in the LVPA by large purse seine vessels. The fishing requirements for the Rose Atoll Marine National Monument remain unchanged.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Balancing the Tides highlights the influence of marine practices and policies in the unincorporated territory of American Sāmoa on the local indigenous group, the American fishing industry, international seafood consumption, U.S. environmental programs, as well as global ecological and native concerns. Poblete explains how U.S. federal fishing programs in the post–World War II period encouraged labor based out of American Sāmoa to catch and can one-third of all tuna for United States consumption until 2009. Labeled "Made in the USA," this commodity was sometimes caught by non-U.S. regulated ships, produced under labor standards far below continental U.S. minimum wage and maximum work hours, and entered U.S. jurisdiction tax free. The second half of the book explores the tensions between indigenous and U.S. federal government environmental goals and ecology programs. Whether creating the largest National Marine Sanctuary under U.S. jurisdiction or collecting basic data on local fishing, initiatives that balanced western-based and native expectations for respectful community relationships and appropriate government programs fared better than those that did not acknowledge the positionality of all groups involved. Despite being under the direct authority of the United States, American Sāmoans have maintained a degree of local autonomy due to the Deeds of Cession signed with the U.S. Navy at the turn of the twentieth century that created shared indigenous and federal governance in the region. Balancing the Tides demonstrates how western-style economics, policy-making, and knowledge building imposed by the U.S. federal government have been infused into the daily lives of American Sāmoans. American colonial efforts to protect natural resources based on western approaches intersect with indigenous insistence on adhering to customary principles of respect, reciprocity, and native rights in complicated ways. Experiences and lessons learned from these case studies provide insight into other tensions between colonial governments and indigenous peoples engaging in environmental and marine-based policy-making across the Pacific and the globe. This study connects the U.S.-American Sāmoa colonial relationship to global overfishing, world consumption patterns, the for-profit fishing industry, international environmental movements and studies, as well as native experiences and indigenous rights. Open Access publication of this book was made possible by the Sustainable History Monograph Pilot, an initiative sponsored by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Book excerpt: "The following tables represent effort, retained catch (kept) and discards as reported on longline logsheets for the American Samoa limited-access longline fishery. Effort and catch-effort statistics are based on date of longline haul.

When a statistic (number of vessels, trips) can involve dates of haul in 2 summary periods (i.e., years, semi-annual, quarters), the item is counted in both summary periods. Thus, a trip total is for "partial and completed" trips. As such, these are not additive statistics (i.e., sum of 4 quarters is not the total for the year, etc.). A Large Vessel Prohibited Area (LVPA) was in effect from 1 March 2002 to 29 January 2016.

Updated as of May 29, 2018 NMFS issues regulations under authority of the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Convention Implementation Act (WCPFC Implementation Act) to establish a catch limit of 3,763 metric tons (mt) of bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) for vessels in the U.S. pelagic longline fisheries operating in the western and central Pacific Ocean (WCPO) for each of the calendar years 2013 and 2014. The limit does not apply to vessels in the longline fisheries of American Samoa, Guam, or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). Once the limit of 3,763 mt is reached in 2013 or 2014, retaining, transshipping, or landing bigeye tuna caught in the area of application of the Convention on the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (Convention), which comprises the majority of the WCPO, will be prohibited for the remainder of the calendar year, with certain exceptions. This action is necessary for the United States to satisfy its obligations under the Convention, to which it is a Contracting Party.
