Book excerpt: "NMFS is responsible for the management of Federal fishery resources. Scientific research is an important means of gathering valuable information about fish species and is necessary for making informed management decisions on these fish stocks. NMFS conducts Resource Assessment surveys to aid in the development of an index of relative abundance for fishery stock assessments in the South Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. Gear research is also conducted with the primary focus of research being the development of sea turtle and finfish bycatch mitigation measures for commercial trawl fisheries. The proposed research activities are expected to ultimately contribute to management decisions about fisheries that would potentially have positive social or economic impacts and aide in the recovery and conservation of protected species. The more data available regarding the health of these fish stocks and protected resources, the better NMFS is able maintain a productive and sustainable fishery balanced with ecosystem needs"--Purpose and need [first page of unnumbered EA].

This book was released on 2011 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The current Environmental Assessment (EA) analyzed the effects of shortnose sturgeon research on the environment within the Hudson River Estuary. Specifically, the applicant is seeking a five-year scientific research permit characterizing habitat use, population abundance, reproduction, juvenile recruitment, age and growth, temporal and spatial distributions, diet selectivity, and contamination load of shortnose sturgeon captured from the Hudson River Estuary from New York Harbor to Troy Dam. The applicant would use anchored and drift gill nets and trawls capturing up to 240 and 2,340 shortnose sturgeon during year 1-3 and year 4-5, respectively. Research activities would also include: measuring, weighing; tagging unmarked individuals with passive integrated transponder and Floy tags; and sampling tissue for genetic analysis. A first subset of fish would be anesthetized and tagged with acoustic transmitters; a second subset would have fin rays sampled for ageing; and a third subset of fish would have gastric contents lavaged for diet analysis, as well as have blood samples taken for contaminant testing. A total of four unintended mortalities are requested over the life of the permit. TIle proposed action analyzed in the EA would not have significant environmental effects on the target or non-target species; public health and safety would not affected; no unique geographic area would be affected; and the effects of this study would not be highly uncertain, nor would they involve unique or unknown risks. Issuance of this permit would not set a precedent for future actions with significant effects, nor would it represent a decision in principle about a future consideration. There would not be individually insignificant but cumulatively significant impacts associated with the proposed action, and there would not be adverse effects on historic resources. The permit would contain mitigating measures to avoid unnecessary stress to the subject animals"--Cover letter; Portfolio comprised of three related PDF documents digitized and organized by: NOAA Office of Program Planning and Integration (PPI) National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) staff.

Download or read book Environmental Assessment for the Issuance of a Special Fishing Permit to Authorize the Use of an Anchored Pod to Culture and Harvest a Coral Reef Ecosystem Management Unit Species, Seriola Rivoliana, in Federal Waters West of Hawaii Island (RIN 0648-XC791) written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is proposing to issue a Special Coral Reef Ecosystem Fishing Permit (SCREFP) to Kampachi Farms, LLC, in accordance with the Hawaii Fishery Ecosystem Plan (FEP) and consistent with federal regulations for Hawaii fisheries at 50 CFR 665.224 pertaining to management of coral reef ecosystem fisheries. The SCREFP is required because the gear proposed to be used for the harvest of the coral reef ecosystem management unit species (MUS) kampachi (Almaco jack or Seriola rivoliana) is not currently an approved gear under the Hawaii FEP and fishing regulations. The permit would authorize Kampachi Farms to harvest kampachi using a 132-m3 (approximately 21 ft in diameter) brass-link mesh aquapod (CuPod) tethered to a moored feed vessel (a 28-ft long sportfisher). The feed vessel would be connected to a singlepoint mooring established at around 6,000 ft deep approximately 5.5 nautical miles (nm) west of Keauhou Bay, Hawaii. The Velella array (CuPod and vessel) would be located in Federal waters with the exact position depending on wind and currents. It would not be closer than 3 nm from shore. If the permit is issued, the applicant would use the Velella array to grow and harvest 2,000 fingerlings/juveniles. The stock would be first generation offspring of the native coral reef species, kampachi, (marketed as 'Kona Kampachi®') obtained from a local hatchery. The permit duration is for a one-year period. To implement its project, the applicant must also obtain a Department of the Army (DA) permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). NMFS prepared this Environmental Assessment (EA) with input and review by the USACE. The EA will serve as the basis for a determination by NMFS whether or not issuing the SCREFP permit would be a major federal action with the potential for significant environmental impacts, in which case there would be a need to prepare an environmental impact statement. The document will also inform NMFS in its decision about whether to issue a permit. The USACE will be using this document to inform its environmental evaluations in accordance with USACE NEPA Implementation Procedures for the Regulatory Program (33 CFR 325, Appendix B). The small size of the CuPod, and limited number of fish, established procedures for the careful application of feed, and near constant water flow are expected to minimize impacts on water quality. The strong brass mesh net material is resistant to biofouling, tearing, and leaching. The strong mesh material and the use of a mesh entry panel during routine maintenance work would prevent fish escapes. The CuPod and vessel would each have a global positioning system (GPS) transponder to provide ongoing location information and to allow retrieval of the CuPod in the unlikely case of separation from the mooring. In addition to the applicant monitoring the CuPod and feed vessel remotely, NMFS permit conditions would include requirements for avoiding and reporting protected resources interactions and fish escapes, and collecting and discarding dead fish, filing harvest and transshipment reports, and accommodating an observer upon request. These operational features together with the limited scale and duration of the project help to ensure that the project would have a very limited impact on the environment. It is expected that the array (feed vessel and CuPod) would aggregate pelagic fish. Fishermen would be able to fish around the array. The small size of the array is not expected to have a substantial adverse effect on other fishermen off of west Hawaii. NMFS published a Notice of Availability of a draft EA on August 13, 2013, and provided the public with an opportunity to review and comment on the draft EA. NMFS considered all comments and either made no change to the document or improved information in the baseline and the clarity of the document. None of the comments resulted in substantial changes to the analysis about the significance of impacts of the proposed action on the human environment.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to the receipt of an application from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), NMFS, Office of Protected Resources (PR) proposes to modify Permit No. 16436 and terminate Permit No. 16439 pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). Both permits are held by the NYSDEC. The Permit Holder proposes to continue studying the population dynamics and seasonal habitat use of Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus) authorized in Permit 16436 and proposes to consolidate the existing takes of shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum) in Permit 16439 and then terminate Permit No. 16439 upon issuance of the modification. The Permit Holder also requests increasing the numbers and procedures for taking both Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon to meet new objectives, including tracking movement, habitat and diet changes in response to major construction projects on the Hudson River. The modification would be valid through the expiration date of the original permit on April 5, 2017.

Since the draft EA was published, the applicants have requested that NMFS extend the permit duration from 10 years to 13 years to remain consistent with the permit duration for other hatchery programs in the Wenatchee River Basin. NMFS has determined that this change does not affect any of the analysis in the draft EA or warrant further public review. Changes to the text of the draft EA to reflect the new permit duration are indicated in redline/strikeout format. Minor editorial changes to the draft EA are not shown in redline/strikeout format"--Executive summary (page vii).

This book was released on 2013 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to issue modifications to two research permits held by the North Carolina Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit [hereinafter "Permit Holder" and Joseph Hightower, Ph.D., Responsible Party/Principal Investigator: North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695] for takes of shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum) (File No. 14759-01) and for takes of Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus) (File No. 16375-01) in the wild, pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The research objectives for both permits would remain unchanged: to collect data on the biology, distribution and abundance of endangered shortnose sturgeon and Atlantic sturgeon to facilitate recovery of the respective species. In Permit No. 14759, the Permit Holder is currently authorized to capture with gill net, measure, weigh, genetic tissue sample, PIT tag and Floy tag up to 15 shortnose sturgeon annually from the Chowan and Cape Fear River Basins and Albemarle Sound. Additionally, the Permit Holder is authorized to capture and sample up to 25 shortnose sturgeon per year from the Roanoke River Basin. Annually, a sub- set of up to five sub-adults or adults from each of the river basins and Albemarle Sound can also be anesthetized and surgically implanted with internal sonic transmitters annually. In Permit No. 16375, the Permit Holder is authorized to capture with gill nets measure, weigh, genetic tissue sample, PIT and Floy tag up to 200 Atlantic sturgeon annually from the same locations authorized in Permit No. 14759. Further, a sub-set of up to ninety juvenile, sub-adult or adult Atlantic sturgeon may be annually implanted with acoustic transmitter tags within the Albemarle Sound, and Roanoke, Chowan and Cape Fear River Basins, with no more than 45 tagged in each the Cape Fear River system or the combined area for the Albemarle Sound, Roanoke River and Chowan River. The applicant now requests authorization to verify spawning activity shortnose and Atlantic sturgeon by deploying artificial egg mats downstream of suspected spawning areas to take up to 50 early life stages (ELS) of each species annually from both the Roanoke River and Cape Fear River (total of 200 ELS). The expanded action area for each species up to the first impassible dam on the Roanoke River (rkm 221) and on the Cape Fear (rkm 300), will also be a part of the permit modification. All other currently authorized takes, methods and activities would remain the same for each permit. The modifications would be valid through the expiration dates of the original Permit No. 14759 (August 19, 2015) and Permit No. 16375 (April 5, 2017).

This book was released on 2013 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NMFS proposes to issue a modification to scientific research permit No. 16547 to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), 11110 Kimages Road; Charles City, Virginia 23030 [Albert Spells: Responsible Party], authorizing scientific research on endangered Atlantic sturgeon pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.c. 1531 et seq.) and the regulations governing the taking, importing, and exporting of endangered and threatened species (50 CFR 222-226). The modification would be valid through April 5, 2017. Permit No. 16547 currently permits the permit holder to: evaluate abundance of Atlantic sturgeon within the Chesapeake Bay Distinct Population Segment (DPS), including the entirety of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries above and below 22 parts per thousand (ppt) salinity. Researchers are authorized to capture adult, juvenile and early life stages (ELS) of Atlantic sturgeon using gill nets, trawls, fyke nets, trammel nets, pound nets and egg mats; and to measure, weigh, tissue sample, PIT and Floy tag appropriately sized animals. Dependent on the life stage and the salinity level, a subset may be telemetry tagged internally or externally. The permit holder now requests to: telemetry tag adult sub-adult or juvenile Atlantic sturgeon with either internal or external telemetry tags without respect to salinity level within the same action area. However, the numbers of adult and sub-adult Atlantic sturgeon requested would be reduced from 425 to 350 per year; the numbers of juveniles would be reduced from 175 to 125 annually, and the sub-set of juveniles requested to be telemetry tagged is increased to 50 from 25, including the option for internal telemetry tagging. Finally, the number of ELS proposed would increase from 25 to 50 annually to document spawning in other rivers. All other aspects of the currently permitted activity--the action area, capture methods, incidental takes, impacts to other listed species, types of research activities, and objectives--would remain the same.
