Book Description
"The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to define the portion of the EEZ in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands west of 180 degrees West longitude and north of 28 degrees North latitude as the Hancock Seamounts Ecosystem Management Area (EMA), i.e., a marine protected area. Within the Hancock Seamounts EMA, a moratorium would be established that prohibits fishing for pelagic armorhead (Pseudopentaceros wheeleri) and other seamount groundfish and bottomfish, until NMFS determines that the armorhead stock is rebuilt and no longer overfished. The purpose of this action is to rebuild the armorhead stock, which is overfished as a result of over-exploitation by foreign vessels in international waters. This action would also specify a rebuilding time for armorhead as required by the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act for stocks that are overfished"--Cover letter.

Book Description
"The Western Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) prepared a fishery ecosystem plan (FEP) amendment for all five western Pacific FEPs. The amendment to the American Samoa, Hawaii, the Mariana Archipelago (Guam and the CNMI), PRIA, and western Pacific pelagic fisheries FEPs provides specific guidance on how future annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures (AMs) will be developed for western Pacific fisheries. It also identifies the management unit species that qualify for statutory exceptions to the ACL/AM requirements and specifies the qualification criteria for "ecosystem component species." ACLs and AMs are not required for species classified as ecosystem components. The purpose of the amendment is to ensure that western Pacific fishery management plans comply with requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act to include a mechanism for specifying annual catch limits for all fisheries at a level such that overfishing does not occur and to implement measures to ensure accountability for adhering to these limits. The environmental impact analysis found that the proposed action is administrative and will not result in large or adverse effects on the environment. The approval of the mechanism and process will not result in any environmental change or in a change in fishing activity by any of the fleets, or change in monitoring by the Council, NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), or other fishery management entity. In the future, when specific annual catch limits and accountability measures are proposed, the Council and NMFS will analyze the potential environmental impacts. In general, ACLs and AMs are not expected to result in large impacts to the environment because many of the ACLs are likely to be based on recent harvests and, therefore, will not result in significant changes to most fisheries"--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.

Book Description
"By examining a suite of over 90 indicators for nine major U.S. fishery ecosystem jurisdictions, Link and Marshak systematically track the progress the U.S. has made toward advancing ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) and making it an operational reality. Covering a range of socioeconomic, governance, environmental forcing, major pressures, systems ecology, and fisheries criteria, they evaluate progress toward EBFM in the U.S., covering a wide range of longitude, latitude, and parts of major ocean basins, representing over 10% of the world’s ocean surface area. They view progress toward the implementation of EBFM as synonymous with improved management of living marine resources in general, and highlight lessons learned from a national perspective. Although US-centric, the lessons learned are applicable for all parts of the global ocean. Though much work remains, significant progress has been made to better address many of the challenges facing the sustainable management of our living marine resources"--Publisher's description.
