This book was released on 2011 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this amendment is to revise management reference points and status determination criteria for the Caribbean queen conch, snapper, grouper, and parrotfish; specify Annual Catch Limits (ACLs) and Accountability Measures (AMs) for those species or units classified as undergoing overfishing to prevent overfishing of these species or units; establish framework measures to facilitate regulatory modifications; adjust management measures as needed to constrain harvest to specified annual catch limits; and minimize, to the extent practicable, negative socioeconomic impacts that may result from the amendment actions. To achieve these goals, six actions are included in the amendment. Action 1 amends the unit composition in the Reef Fish Fishery Management Unit. Action 2 revises management reference points to transition U.S. Caribbean reef fish and queen conch management from that established in the Comprehensive Sustainable Fisheries Amendment (Caribbean SFA Amendment) of 2005 (CFMC 2005) to that mandated by the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act as Amended through January 12, 2007 (MSRA). Action 3 works in concert with Action 2 and provides the specific details regarding the distribution and numerical value of ACLs for the various U.S. Caribbean island groups, including Puerto Rico (PR), St. Croix (STX) in the United States Virgin Islands (USVI), and the island group of St. Thomas and St. John (STT/STJ) in the USVI. Action 4 proposes management measures with specific emphasis on harvest prohibitions for three parrotfish species (midnight, blue, rainbow) that serve an essential ecological function and which are relatively large and long-lived. Action 4 also proposes recreational bag limits for reef fish. Action 5 provides alternative guidelines for triggering AMs and for applying those AMs. Finally, Action 6 establishes framework provisions separately for reef fish and queen conch. In concert, these actions serve to provide a basic foundation for reef fish and queen conch fisheries management in the U.S. Caribbean"--Executive summary (page 23).

This book was released on 2009 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This amendment includes two management actions. Preferred Alternative 2 for Action 1 proposes to modify the seasonal closure of Bajo de Sico to a 6 month closure from October 1 through March 31 each year to provide better protection for red hind spawning aggregations, large snappers and groupers, and coral reef habitat. Sub-Alternative 2d defines the closure as prohibiting fishing for and possession of all reef fish species managed by the Caribbean Fishery Management Council (Council). Preferred Alternative 3 for Action 2 proposes to prohibit anchoring year-round in Bajo de Sico to provide further EFH [essential fish habitat] protection"--Page 1.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "At the June 2009 meeting, the Caribbean Fishery Management Council (Council) voted to amend the Fishery Management Plan for Queen Conch Resources of Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands (U.S.V.I.) to establish compatible regulations with U.S.V.I. territorial regulations. At the September 2010 meeting, the Council voted to submit the regulatory amendment to the Secretary for review. Currently, fishing for and possession of queen conch is prohibited in the Caribbean EEZ, with the exception of an area known as Lang Bank east of St. Croix, which is open to harvest of queen conch from October 1 through June 30. In St. Croix, U.S.V.I. territorial waters, queen conch is managed under a 50,000 pound quota and a seasonal closure from June 1 through October 31. The rule will implement compatible closures with the U.S.V.I. territorial regulations to close the queen conch fishery after the local government has determined the quota in St. Croix has been reached. The rule will also extend the seasonal closure in federal waters to June 1 through October 31, each year, consistent with the territorial seasonal closure"--Cover letter.
