Book excerpt: The Law Library presents the complete text of the Atlantic Highly Migratory Species - North and South Atlantic Swordfish Quotas and Management Measures (US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Regulation) (NOAA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 This final rule implements the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (Commission) Recommendation 11-02, which maintains the U.S. North Atlantic swordfish base quota allocation, reduces the annual underharvest carryover from 50 to 25 percent of the base quota, establishes an quota transfer to Morocco for 2012 and 2013, and includes an alternative swordfish minimum size of 25-inches cleithrum to caudal keel (CK). This final rule also implements Recommendation 09-03 for South Atlantic swordfish. It also allows fishermen to remove the bill of the swordfish while still meeting the "head-naturally-attached" requirement for measuring swordfish using the lower jaw fork length minimum size, modifies and clarifies regulations regarding swordfish fishery season closures and the North Atlantic swordfish quota reserve category, and adjusts the North and South Atlantic swordfish quotas for the 2012 fishing year to account for 2011 underharvests and landings. This final rule could affect commercial and recreational fishermen who are fishing for swordfish in the Atlantic Ocean, including the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this action, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) would adjust regulations governing the U.S. BFT fishery to : (1) Increase the General category maximum BFT daily retention limit from three to five fish (with limit adjustments to be executed via inseason actions when and if appropriate): (2) Allow the BFT General category season to remain open until the January subquota is reached or March 31 (whichever happens first): and (3) Increase the Harpoon category daily retention limit of BFT measuring 73 to 81 inches from two to four fish. This action is intended to enable more thorough utilization of the available U.S. BFT quota for the General and Harpoon permit categories: minimize bycatch and bycatch mortality to the extent practicable: expand fishing opportunities for participants in the commercial winter General category fishery: and increase NMFS' flexibility for selling the General category retention limit depending on available quota. This action would be consistent with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act, and the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan. This action is not expected to significantly alter current fishing practices and bycatch mortality rates, or increase fishing effort, and it is not expected to change previously analyzed endangered species or marine mammal interaction rates or magnitudes."--Cover letter; Portfolio comprised of two related PDF documents digitized and organized by: NOAA Office of Program Planning and Integration (PPI) National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) staff.

This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is amending the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic HMS Fishery Management Plan (FMP) based on several stock assessments that were completed in 2007 and 2008. After considering comments received during scoping and on a Predraft document, NMFS released the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) and proposed rule on July 24, 2009 (74 FR 36706 and 74 FR 36892). 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 could be maintained. Additionally, NMFS proposed adding smooth dogfish under NMFS management due to growing concerns regarding the status of this unmanaged species. The Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) describes a range of alternatives that could impact shark fishermen and dealers including modifying commercial quotas, modifying commercial gear restrictions, establishing a rebuilding plan for overfished stocks, establishing measures to prevent overfishing, modifying recreational measures, and establishing management measures for smooth dogfish"--Abstract.
Book Synopsis Review of Recreational Fisheries Survey Methods by : National Research Council
Download or read book Review of Recreational Fisheries Survey Methods written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-07-13 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recreational fishing in the United States is an important social and economic component of many marine fisheries, with an estimated 14 million anglers making almost 82 million fishing trips in 2004. Although each individual angler typically harvests a small number of fish, collectively these sport fisheries can take a significant fraction of the yearly catch-in some cases more than commercial fisheries. For example, in 1999, recreational fishing accounted for 94% of the total catch of spotted sea trout, 76% of striped bass and sheephead, and 60 percent of king mackerel. It is important that systems used to monitor fishing catch are adequate for timely management of recreational fisheries. However, the large number of anglers and access points makes monitoring recreational fishing much more difficult than monitoring commercial fishing. This report reviews the types of survey methods used to estimate catch in recreational fisheries, including state/federal cooperative programs. The report finds that both telephone survey and onsite access components of the current monitoring systems have serious flaws in design or implementation. There are also several areas of miscommunication and mismatched criteria among designers of surveys, data collectors, and recreational fisheries. The report recommends that a comprehensive, universal sampling frame with national coverage should be established, and that improvements should be made in statistical analysis of the data collected and in the ways the data are communicated. A permanent and independent research group should be established and funded to evaluate the statistical design and adequacy of recreational fishery surveys and to guide necessary modifications or new initiatives.

Book Synopsis Final Environmental Assessment, Regulatory Impact Review, and Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis for Amendment 6 to the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan: Commercial Shark Management Measures by : LeAnn Hogan
Download or read book Final Environmental Assessment, Regulatory Impact Review, and Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis for Amendment 6 to the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan: Commercial Shark Management Measures written by LeAnn Hogan and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September 2010, NMFS published an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) to request public comment on potential adjustments to the regulations governing the Atlantic shark fisheries to address specific issues such as commercial landings that exceed quotas, declining numbers of fishing permits since limited access was implemented, complex regulations, derby fishing conditions due to small quotas and short seasons, increasing numbers of regulatory discards, and declining market prices and to identify specific goals for management of these fisheries in the future. Based on the comments received on the ANPR, in September 2011, NMFS published a Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an FMP Amendment that would consider catch shares for the Atlantic shark fisheries. Based on comments received on the ANPR and NOI, in April 2014, NMFS released a Predraft for Amendment 6 to the 2006 Consolidated Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP) that included management options for changes to regional quota and permit structures. On May, 27 2014, NMFS published another NOI announcing its intent to prepare an Environmental Assessment instead of an Environmental Impact Statement and that the agency was moving away from the catch share concept for this particular Amendment. On January 20, 2015, NMFS released the Draft EA and published a proposed rule (80 FR 2648) for Amendment 6 to the 2006 Consolidated HMS FMP, and the public comment period was open until April 3, 2015. This Final EA analyzes the potential environmental impacts related to (1) permit stacking (2) adjusting the large coastal sharks (LCS) trip limit for shark directed limited access permit holders; (3) establishing a management boundary in the Atlantic region, (4) creating sub-regional quotas in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico regions for LCS and small coastal sharks (SCS); (5) modifying the LCS and SCS quota linkages; (6) implementing total allowable catches and adjusting the non-blacknose SCS commercial quotas in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico regions based on the 2013 Atlantic sharpnose and bonnethead sharks stock assessments; and (7) modifying upgrading restrictions for shark permit holders.
Book Synopsis Environmental Assessment, Final Regulatory Impact Review, and Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis for a Final Rule to Establish Quotas for the 2011 Commercial Fishing Season and Adaptive Management Measures for the Atlantic Shark Fishery by :
Download or read book Environmental Assessment, Final Regulatory Impact Review, and Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis for a Final Rule to Establish Quotas for the 2011 Commercial Fishing Season and Adaptive Management Measures for the Atlantic Shark Fishery written by and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The 2011 Atlantic commercial shark season specifications adjusts quotas for the 2011 fishing season for the Atlantic shark fisheries based on any over- and/or underharvests during the 2009 and 2010 Atlantic commercial shark fishing seasons and announces the start of the fishing season for all Atlantic shark fisheries, including the shark research fishery. This rulemaking does not affect the annual base quotas or the methods for calculating adjusted quotas established in Amendments 2 and 3 to the 2006 Consolidated Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP) (73 FR 35778, June 24, 2008; corrected at 73 FR 40658, July 15, 2008; 75 FR 30484, June 1, 2010). In addition to establishing the 2011 quotas, in this final action, NMFS is also implementing criteria to add flexibility to shark management to allow for delays to the start of the different shark species/complex fishing seasons each year through the annual specifications process as well as to allow inseason actions to make adjustments to the shark trip limits, as necessary, to extend the fishing season. The included Environmental Assessment (EA) tiers from and incorporates by reference the pre-existing Amendment 2 to the 2006 Consolidated Highly Migratory Species HMS FMP (Amendment 2) and Amendment 3 to the 2006 Consolidated Highly Migratory Species HMS FMP (Amendment 3), as well as the scope and effect of activities analyzed in the April 2008 FEIS for Amendment 2 and the March 2010 FEIS for Amendment 3. These measures are meant to provide, to the extent practicable, the furtherance of equitable fishing opportunities for commercial shark fishermen in all regions and areas while also considering the ecological needs of the different species. In addition, having management flexibility would help accommodate any necessary adjustments to the fishery, such as adjusting the opening of seasons, in light of unanticipated events, such as the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico or inclement weather"--Abstract.

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.

This book was released on 2017-06-26 with total page 948 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY-NC 2.5 license. The Gulf of Mexico is an open and dynamic marine ecosystem rich in natural resources but heavily impacted by human activities, including agricultural, industrial, commercial and coastal development. The Gulf of Mexico has been continuously exposed to petroleum hydrocarbons for millions of years from natural oil and gas seeps on the sea floor, and more recently from oil drilling and production activities located in the water near and far from shore. Major accidental oil spills in the Gulf are infrequent; two of the most significant include the Ixtoc I blowout in the Bay of Campeche in 1979 and the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in 2010. Unfortunately, baseline assessments of the status of habitats and biota in the Gulf of Mexico before these spills either were not available, or the data had not been systematically compiled in a way that would help scientists assess the potential short-term and long-term effects of such events. This 2-volume series compiles and summarizes thousands of data sets showing the status of habitats and biota in the Gulf of Mexico before the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. Volume 2 covers historical data on commercial and recreational fisheries, with an analysis of marketing trends and drivers; ecology, populations and risks to birds, sea turtles and marine mammals in the Gulf; and diseases and mortalities of fish and other animals that inhabit the Gulf of Mexico.

This book was released on 2018-12-13 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Law Library presents the complete text of the Endangered Fish and Wildlife - Final Rule to Remove the Sunset Provision of the Final Rule Implementing Vessel Speed Restrictions (US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Regulation) (NOAA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 NMFS is eliminating the expiration date (or "sunset clause") contained in regulations requiring vessel speed restrictions to reduce the likelihood of lethal vessel collisions with North Atlantic right whales. The regulations restrict vessel speeds to no more than 10 knots for vessels 65 ft (19.8 m) or greater in overall length in certain locations and at certain times of the year along the east coast of the U.S. Atlantic seaboard. The purpose of the regulation is to reduce the likelihood of deaths and serious injuries to endangered North Atlantic right whales that result from collisions with ships. The speed regulations will expire December 9, 2013, unless the sunset clause is removed. With this final rule, NMFS is removing the rule's sunset provision. All other aspects of the rule remain in place until circumstances warrant further changes to the rule. This ebook contains: - The complete text of the Endangered Fish and Wildlife - Final Rule to Remove the Sunset Provision of the Final Rule Implementing Vessel Speed Restrictions (US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Regulation) (NOAA) (2018 Edition) - A dynamic table of content linking to each section - A table of contents in introduction presenting a general overview of the structure
