Book excerpt: The overall objective of this 10-year Regional Queen Conch Fishery Management and Conservation Plan is to guide the implementation of a set of identified management measures that can be applied at the regional or sub-regional level for the sustainability of queen conch populations and for the maintenance of a healthy fishery and livelihood of the people involved in the fishery. The ecosystem approach forms the basis of this Regional Queen Conch Fishery Management and Conservation Plan, enhanci ng partnerships and collaboration throughout the Wider Caribbean region to improve the long-term governance of queen conch fisheries across the Caribbean. The Regional Queen Conch Fishery Management and Conservation Plan was formulated with the following specific objectives: 1. To improve the collection and integration of scientific data needed to determine the overall queen conch population status as the basis for the application of ecosystem-based management. 2. To harmonize measures aimed a t increasing the stability of the queen conch population and to implement best-management practices for a sustainable fishery. 3. To increase coordination and collaboration toward achieving better education and outreach, monitoring and research, co-management and strengthening, optimizing and harmonizing regional governance arrangements. 4. To adopt regional management measures, which incorporate the precautionary approach

This book was released on 2018-12-15 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Law Library presents the complete text of the Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and South Atlantic - Queen Conch and Reef Fish Fishery Management Plans of Puerto Rico (US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Regulation) (NOAA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 NMFS issues this final rule to implement Amendment 2 to the Fishery Management Plan for Queen Conch Resources of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Amendment 5 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Fishery of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (Amendments 2 and 5), prepared by the Caribbean Fishery Management Council (Council). This final rule: Establishes annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures (AMs) for queen conch and for all reef fish units or sub-units that are classified as undergoing overfishing (i.e., snapper, grouper and parrotfish); allocates ACLs among island management areas; revises the composition of the snapper and grouper complexes; prohibits fishing for and possession of three parrotfish species; establishes recreational bag limits for snappers, groupers, and parrotfishes; and establishes framework procedures for the queen conch and reef fish fishery management plans. Amendments 2 and 5 also revise management reference points and status determination criteria. The intended effect of the rule is to prevent overfishing of queen conch and reef fish species while maintaining catch levels consistent with achieving optimum yield (OY).

Download or read book Amendment 2 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Queen Conch Fishery of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands and Amendment 5 to the Reef Fish Fishery Management Plan of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands written by and published by . 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).

Download or read book Regulatory Amendment 2 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Queen Conch Resources of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Caribbean Fishery Management Council (Council), in collaboration with the National Marine Fisheries Service, prepared Regulatory Amendment 2 to the Queen Conch Fishery Management Plan to address compatibility issues in the harvest of queen conch in the U.S. Caribbean exclusive economic zone (EEZ). Fishing and possession of queen conch in the U.S. Caribbean EEZ is only allowed in the area of Lang Bank, to the east of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI). However, current regulations regarding the commercial trip limit and the recreational bag limit for the harvest of queen conch in federal waters are not compatible with USVI regulations. Compatibility of regulations is a means of enhancing enforcement efficiency. The current trip limit in federal waters allows a licensed commercial fisherman to harvest up to 150 queen conch per day, but does not establish a harvest limit per vessel. USVI regulations allow the harvest of 200 queen conch per vessel per day regardless of the number of licensed fishermen on board. The daily recreational bag limit in federal waters allows three queen conch per person and a maximum of 12 queen conch per vessel. In contrast, the USVI daily recreational bag limit consists of six queen conch per person and a maximum of 24 per vessel. The USVI has expressed interest in having federal regulations modified to make them compatible with the territorial limits to facilitate enforcement efforts, enhance compliance by fishers, and allow for more efficient management of queen conch resources in the U.S. Caribbean. Queen conch is currently classified as an overfished species, and it is managed under a 15-year rebuilding plan. The goal of Regulatory Amendment 2 is to consider state-federal compatibility of queen conch daily harvest limits via separate actions applicable to the commercial and recreational sectors. At its 145th meeting (March 26-27, 2013), the Council chose as preferred alternatives to establish a daily commercial trip limit of 200 queen conch per vessel and to leave the recreational bag limit unchanged. Compatibility with the USVI's commercial regulations will reduce confusion among fishers and increase law enforcement efficiency. However, because the federal recreational bag limit is less than the territorial limit, the Council chose to maintain that lower bag limit as a preferred alternative. Increasing the recreational limit does little to assist law enforcement and may have negative consequences with respect to the continued health of the queen conch resource"--Summary (page iii).

This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this study the queen conch fisheries of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands were presented within the context of the larger, more complex multi-species fisheries that have historically guided their overall behavior and performance. At the same time, a major endeavor was to isolate conch-specific information (landings, effort, targeting information, full-time fishermen, etc.) such that single-species assessments could be made. The results presented here thus summarize the main aspects of the combined multi species fisheries of the U.S Caribbean and provide significant insight into the queen conch fisheries. They also set the grounds to guide future analyses. The main contribution of this study may be that most of the queen conch information that was previously scattered has now been compiled, reviewed and analyzed. There appear to be sufficient data to conduct formal stock assessments in the near future, as soon as the official filtered and updated data sets for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands are released"--NMFS/SEFSC publication series home p.

This book was released on 2019-01-11 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Law Library presents the complete text of the Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and South Atlantic - Comprehensive Amendment to the Fishery Management Plans of the U.S. Caribbean (US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Regulation) (NOAA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 NMFS issues this final rule to implement a comprehensive amendment prepared by the Caribbean Fishery Management Council (Council) to amend its Reef Fish, Spiny Lobster, Queen Conch, and Coral Fishery Management Plans (FMPs). The comprehensive amendment is designed to ensure the FMPs are fully compliant with the provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act). This final rule redefines the fishery management units for the FMPs; establishes seasonal closures; imposes gear restrictions and requirements; revises requirements for marking pots and traps; and prohibits the filleting of fish at sea. In addition, the comprehensive amendment establishes biological reference points and stock status criteria; establishes rebuilding schedules and strategies to end overfishing and rebuild overfished stocks; provides for standardized collection of bycatch data; minimizes bycatch and bycatch mortality to the extent practicable; designates essential fish habitat (EFH) and EFH habitat areas of particular concern (HAPCs); and minimizes adverse impacts on such habitat to the extent practicable. The intended effect of this final rule is to achieve optimum yield in the fisheries and provide social and economic benefits associated with maintaining healthy stocks.

Download or read book Conversion Factors for Processed Queen Conch to Nominal Weight written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Queen conch (Strombus gigas) is one of the important fishery resources in the Caribbean in terms of its annual landings and its social and economic importance. Queen conch is an edible marine gastropod of the Caribbean region that has been listed in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), which allows international trade of the species only after certain conditions are met. An FAO FishCode-STF*/OSPESCA** workshop held in Panama identified the need to be able to convert the different processing grades to nominal weight. Three countries (Dominican Republic, Honduras and Nicaragua) volunteered to participate in a field experiment to establish the conversion factors. This investigation resulted in the establishment of conversion rates for different processing grades per country. There were slight but significant differences between conversion factors for processing grades between countries, most likely related to different processing techniques used. Within this limitation, the following preliminary regional conversion factors are recommended: 100 percent fillet to nominal weight 16.4; 85 percent fillet to nominal weight 13.7; 50 percent fillet to nominal weight 9.46; dirty meat to nominal weight 5.7.
