This book was released on 2010 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is proposing regulations under authority of the Tuna Conventions Act of 1950, as amended to revise the current U.S. vessel carrying capacity limit for the purse seine fishery which targets tuna species in the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) Convention Area. The revision would make vessel capacity limits consistent with the amount authorized under resolutions adopted by the IATTC, which currently is 31,775 cubic meters, or about 27,147 metric tons. Currently, the U.S. fleet capacity limit is 8,969 metric tons. The exemption for small purse seine vessels to be on the IATTC Vessel Register would also be removed so all U.S. purse seine vessels that fish for tuna in the lATTC Convention Area would be required to be listed on the Vessel Register and categorized as active in order to use purse seine gear to fish for tuna in the lATTC Convention Area. However, small vessels which do not primarily fish for tuna would be exempt from the frivolous request provisions for active status regulations due to the fact that these vessels only opportunistically fish for tuna off the west coast of California in the summer and fall months when tuna schools occasionally come close enough to shore. These revisions would ensure that the United States is satisfying its obligations as a member of the IATTC and not exceeding its allotted capacity in the fishery, while allowing for controlled operational flexibility for the U.S. industry consistent with the lATTC management framework"--Cover letter.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Marine Fisheries Service is proposing regulations under authority of the Tuna Conventions Act of 1950, as amended, to implement commercial catch limits for Pacific bluefin tuna (Thunnus orientalis) that are consistent with a resolution adopted by the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission, specifically Resolution C-13-02, Measures for the Conservation and Management of Bluefin Tuna in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. The Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission Convention Area includes the waters of the eastern Pacific Ocean bounded by the coast of the Americas, the 50° N. and 50° S. parallels, and the 150° W. meridian. Resolution C-13-02 includes two catch limits for 2014: (1) a Commission-wide limit for all commercial fishing vessels of all IATTC Members and Cooperating Non-Members (CPCs) fishing in the IATTC Convention Area of the eastern Pacific Ocean and (2) notwithstanding the Commission-wide limit, a catch limit of 500 metric tons for each CPC with a historical record of eastern Pacific bluefin catch--such as the United States--to allow these nations to catch a small share of Pacific bluefin tuna even if the Commission-wide limit is reached. Currently, U.S. fishing vessels that commercially catch Pacific bluefin tuna are constrained by a 500 metric ton catch limit if and when the Commission-wide catch limit for all CPCs is met; however, these measures expired December 31, 2013. The proposed regulations would extend these catch limits beyond 2013, apply only to U.S. vessels that commercially catch Pacific bluefin tuna in the eastern Pacific Ocean, and ensure that the United States is satisfying its obligations as a member of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission. The National Marine Fisheries Service is obligated to implement and enforce regulations consistent with Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission resolutions and does not make substantive decisions in promulgating such actions. Given that the recent results of the draft 2014 updated Pacific bluefin tuna (Thunnus orientalis) (PBF) assessment by the International Scientific Committee (ISC) for Tuna and Tuna-Like Species in the North Pacific Ocean reports that overfishing is occurring and the population is overfished, the same results as the 2012 assessment, the National Marine Fisheries Service anticipates that the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission with input from the U.S. Department of State and National Marine Fisheries Service will resolve into the foreseeable future, as in 2011 and 2013, to impose catch limits for Pacific bluefin tuna. Therefore, this Environmental Assessment includes essential components of environmental impact analyses in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act to consider a range of Pacific bluefin tuna catch limits for U.S. commercial vessels fishing in the Convention Area and to assess the potential environmental impacts on the human environment that could result from the proposed action as well as similar actions in future years. The impacts to the human environment (e.g., effects of the proposed action on the natural environment and the socioeconomic environment) were found to be insignificant.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is proposing regulations under authority of the Tuna Conventions Act of 1950, as amended, to implement a resolution adopted by the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) in June 2012, specifically the Resolution on Conservation and Management Measures for Bluefin Tuna in the Eastern Pacific Ocean (C-12-09). The proposed regulation would only apply to vessels that commercially catch Pacific bluefin tuna (PBT) in the eastern Pacific Ocean (EPO). Resolution C-12-09 included both a cumulative catch limit of 10,000 metric tons (mt) for member countries fishing in the EPO for 2012 and 2013 combined and an annual catch limit of 500 mt for individual member countries should the cumulative limit be reached. In accordance with the 10,000 mt cumulative catch limit adopted in Resolution C-12-09 for both 2012 and 2013 combined, the catch limit for 2013 is 3,295 metric tons because the cumulative catch of all IATTC member countries in the Convention Area reached 6,705 metric tons in 2012. Currently, the U.S. commercial fishery has no catch limit on the PBT in the EPO. The eastern Pacific Ocean (EPO) includes the waters bounded by the coast of the Americas, the 40° N. and 40° S. parallels, and the 150° W. meridian. These revisions would ensure that the United States is satisfying its obligations as a member of the IATTC. This environmental assessment (EA) assesses the potential environmental impacts on the human environment that could result from implementation of the proposed rule which would implement a commercial catch limit on PBT in the EPO. Alternatives and potential impacts are analyzed in this EA. Impacts to the human environment (e.g., effects of the proposed action on the natural environment and the socioeconomic environment) were found to be insignificant.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is promulgating a rule to implement certain provisions adopted by the Commission for the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish STocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean. The specific provisions are part of the 'Conservation and Management Measure for Bigeye, Yellowfin and Skipjack Tuna in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean' (CMM 2012-01) and include the following: (1) limits on fishing effort by U.S. purse seine vessels in the U.S. exclusive economic zone and on the high seas; (2) restrictions on the use of fish aggregating devices (FADs); and (3) requirements for U.S. purse seine vessels to carry observers. NMFS prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) that analyzed three action alternatives for implementing the purse seine provisions of CMM 2012-01, as well as the No-Action Alternative. Each of the action alternatives includes a different variation of the fishing effort limits. NMFS identified two variations for implementing the Fish Aggregating Device (FAD) restrictions, which were incorporated into the three action alternatives. NMFS identified only one manner of implementing the observer requirements, so all the action alternatives include identical observer requirements. Alternative 1 is the No-Action Alternative. Alternative 2 includes the most restrictive fishing effort limits as well as the FAD restrictions prohibing fishing on FADs during certain periods. Alternative 3 including the fishing effort limits based on past regulatory precedent, and FAD restrictions prohibiting fishing on FADs and setting on fish that have aggregated in association with a vessel during certain periods. Alternative 4 includes the least restrictive fishing effort alternative as well as FAD restrictions prohibting fishing on FADs during certain periods. The rule implements Alternative 3, which includes neither the most restrictive nor the least restrictive fishing effort limits, but rather, is based on similar fishing effort limits established in past regulations. The FAD restrictions under Alternative 3 are expected to serve CMM 2012-01's objective of reducing the tuna stocks' fishing mortality rates through seasonal prohibitions on the use of FADs better than the variation for this element of the rule considered under Alternatives 2 and 4"--Summary from cover letter.
