Book excerpt: "A Southeast Data, Assessment, and Review (SEDAR) stock assessment update for black sea bass was completed in 2013, and suggests the annual catch limit (ACL) for this species could be increased based upon the new acceptable biological catch (ABC) levels recommended by the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council's (South Atlantic Council) Scientific and Statistical Committee (SSC). The stock assessment update indicates black sea bass is no longer undergoing overfishing, is not overfished, and the stock is rebuilt. Based on the outcome of the stock assessment update for black sea bass, the SSC applied the approved ABC control rule to black sea bass, revised P* to be 40%, and recommended new ABC values for 2013-2015. At their December 2012 meeting, the South Atlantic Council determined it would be appropriate to modify certain management measures that are currently in place for black sea bass including changes to the commercial and recreational fishing years. The South Atlantic Council is considering modification to black sea bass management measures in Regulatory Amendment 14 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Snapper Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region (Snapper Grouper FMP), which is currently being developed. The South Atlantic Council stated in Section 1.4 of the Comprehensive ACL Amendment that necessary changes to the ABCs, ACLs, annual catch targets (ACT), and accountability measures for snapper grouper species would be made through the framework procedure modified in Amendment 17B to the Snapper Grouper FMP, which is a more rapid process than a plan amendment. In Regulatory Amendment 19 to the Snapper Grouper FMP (Regulatory Amendment 19), the South Atlantic Council is proposing: adjustments to the ACLs (including sector ACLs), recreational ACT, and optimum yield for black sea bass based on the ABC recommendation of the SSC, which is supported by the recent stock assessment update; and an annual prohibition on the use of black sea bass pots from November 1 through April 30 to minimize the probability of interactions between black sea bass pot gear and Endangered Species Act-listed whales during large whale migrations and right whale calving season off the southeastern coast"--Summary (page iii).

This book was released on 2011 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "At their August 2011 meeting, the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council approved Regulatory Amendment 11 for review by the Secretary of Commerce by a unanimous vote. The proposed action in Regulatory Amendment 11 is the elimination of a possession prohibition for six deepwater snapper-grouper species (snowy grouper, blueline tilefish, yellowedge grouper, misty grouper, queen snapper, and silk snapper) harvested in depths greater than 240 feet (40 fathoms) in the South Atlantic EEZ. The closure was implemented on January 31, 2011, through Amendment 17B to the Fishery Management Plan for the Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region (Amendment 17B). The purpose of the harvest prohibition approved in Amendment 17B is to reduce discards of speckled hind and warsaw grouper. However, there is evidence, from both public comments and new analysis of data, that the prohibition is not effective at its stated purpose and comes at a higher economic cost to fishermen than originally anticipated. A new analysis of landings data following the implementation of the prohibition indicates that different measures would be more appropriate to reduce discards of speckled hind and warsaw grouper than those implemented through Amendment 17B. Therefore, the Council has developed Regulatory Amendment 11 to remove the harvest prohibition implemented through Amendment 178. The Council intends to approve a new amendment with more effective measures to reduce discards of speckled hind and warsaw grouper at its December 2012 meeting"--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.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (Council) submitted the subject amendment for review and implementation by the Secretary of Commerce on December 19, 2011. Amendment 20A addresses the commercial sector of the wreckfish component of the snapper-grouper fishery, which is managed under individual transferable quota program. The current total allowable catch for wreckfish for the commercial sector is 2 million pounds. In November 2011, the Council's Scientific and Statistical Committee (SSC) reviewed new data analysis regarding wreckfish, and revised their acceptable biological catch (ABC) recommendation from 250,000 pounds whole weight (ww) to 235,000 pounds ww. The Council reviewed the recommended ABC in December 2011, and passed a motion to concur with the process of adjusting the wreckfish annual catch limit (ACL) to reflect the revised ABC. NOAA Fisheries Service approved the Comprehensive ACL Amendment on January 18, 2012. This revised ACL for wreckfish will be implemented through the final rule for the Comprehensive ACL Amendment on April 16, 2012. Furthermore, 95 percent of the ACL (223,250 pounds ww) will be allocated to the commercial sector for wreckfish. With this reduction in the commercial sector's allowable catch, the annual allocation each wreckfish shareholder will receive under the revised ACL will also be reduced by approximately 89 percent. Thus, active shareholders, captains, crew, and dealers who depend on a certain level of wreckfish production to maintain their operations will be particularly affected by the reduction in the amount of wreckfish the sector may harvest. The actions contained in Amendment 20A would: (1) Define and revoke inactive wreckfish shares; (2) redistribute revoked shares to "active shareholders; (3) define a cap on the number of shares one entity may own; and (4) establish an appeals process for determinations of share status and redistribution. The intended effects of Amendment 20A are to promote the management provisions of the Fishery Management Plan for the Snapper-Grouper Fishery or the South Atlantic Region and to allow commercial fisherman with wreckfish shares to maximize harvest potential within the constraints of the ACL"--Cover letter; Portfolio comprised of four related PDF documents digitized and organized by: NOAA Office of Program Planning and Integration (PPI) National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) staff.

Book excerpt: "The Environmental Assessment associated with Regulatory Amendment 20 analyzed the effects of a range of alternatives that update the snowy grouper annual catch limits based on the acceptable biological catch recommended by the Council's Scientific and Statistical Committee, and results of a 2012 stock assessment. Regulatory Amendment 20 also revises management measures (trip limits and fishing seasons) for snowy grouper. At their September 2014 meeting, the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council approved Regulatory Amendment 20 for review by the Secretary of Commerce. The need for the amendment is to prevent overfishing and continue rebuilding the snowy grouper stock while minimizing, to the extent practicable, adverse social and economic effects"--Cover letter summary.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Regulatory Amendment 13 to the Snapper Grouper FMP (Regulatory Amendment 13) revises the ABCs, ACLs (including sector ACLs), and ACTs for select un-assessed species in the snapper grouper FMU, and reflects the intent of the South Atlantic Council. Updates will include data through 2008 since that was the last year used in the Comprehensive ACL Amendment to establish ACLs. Additionally, species in the snapper grouper FMU with stock assessments (including those in Amendments 17A and 17B to the Snapper Grouper FMP); species with ABC=0 landings; and those species not utilizing a formula to calculate their ABC in the Comprehensive ACL Amendment are excluded from Regulatory Amendment 13. The intent of Regulatory Amendment 13 is to prevent unnecessary negative socio-economic impacts that may otherwise be realized in the snapper grouper fishery and fishing community, in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, and to ensure the use of best available science as required by National Standard 2"--Summary (pages iii-iv).

The actions in Amendment 17A, which include a harvest prohibition for red snapper and a snapper-grouper area closure, were based upon the results of a stock assessment conducted through the Southeast Data Assessment and Review (SEDAR) process completed in 2008 (SEDAR 15). The closure is 4,827 square miles and extends from southern Georgia to northern Florida where harvest and possession of all snapper-grouper species would be prohibited (except where fishing with black sea bass pots or spearfishing gear for species other than red snapper). The closure was scheduled to be implemented on January 3, 2011, but the effective date has been dealyed until June 1, 2011, via an emergency rule"--Cover letter.

Download or read book Regulatory Amendment 21 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Snapper Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region written by Myra Brouwer and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Regulatory Amendment 21 redefines the overfished threshold for red snapper, blueline tilefish, gag, black grouper, yellowtail snapper, vermilion snapper, red porgy, and greater amberjack. The current definition of the minimum stock size threshold (MSST) for these species, which is used to determine if a species is overfished, is a function of the natural mortality rate (M). MSST equals SSBMSY*(1-M or 0.5, whichever is greater), where SSBMSY is the biomass when the stock is at the maximum sustainable yield (MSY) level and considered to be rebuilt. When the natural mortality rate is small (less than 0.25) there is little difference between the threshold for determining when a stock is overfished (MSST) and when the stock is rebuilt (SSBMSY). Thus, for species that have a low rate of natural mortality, even small fluctuations in biomass due to natural conditions rather than fishing mortality may cause a stock to be classified as overfished. Regulatory Amendment 21 redefines MSST for the species listed above as 75% of SSBMSY, which is expected to help prevent overfished designations when small drops in biomass are due to natural variation in recruitment or other environmental variables such as extreme water temperatures, and ensure that rebuilding plans are applied to stocks when truly appropriate"--Cover letter summary.
