Book Description
The Caribbean Fishery Management Council (Caribbean Council) prepared Amendment 4 to address the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) requirement to establish annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures (AMs) for seagrass species in the Coral FMP. Seagrasses provide essential habitat for many important fishery species in the U.S. Caribbean, but there is no directed harvest of these species. If seagrasses are kept in the coral reef resources fishery management unit of the Coral FMP, the establishment of ACLs and AMs is required. These were not established for seagrasses in the 2011 Caribbean ACL Amendment. Amendment 4 considers four alternatives: 1) No action; 2) a prohibition on the harvest of seagrasses and the establishment of an ACL; 3) the classification of seagrasses as ecosystem component species; and 4) the removal of seagrasses from the Coral FMP. Alternative 4 is the Caribbean Council's preferred alternative. The National Marine Fisheries Service, in collaboration with the Caribbean Council, has developed Amendment 4 and its Environmental Assessment to describe and analyze these management alternatives and address the requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Act.

Book Description
Fisheries of the United States, published each fall, has been produced in its various forms for more than 100 years. It is the NOAA Fisheries yearbook of fishery statistics for the United States. It provides a snapshot of data, primarily at the national level, on U.S. recreational catch and commercial fisheries landings and value. In addition, data are reported on U.S. aquaculture production, the U.S. seafood processing industry, imports and exports of fishery-related products, and domestic supply and per capita consumption of fishery products. The focus is not on economic analysis, although value of landings, processed products, and foreign trade are included.

Book Description
This extensively updated third edition of the classic casebook Marine and Coastal Law provides readers with an authoritative, comprehensive, and up-to-date guide to landmark laws, regulations, and legal decisions governing the United States' vast marine and coastal resources. This thoroughly revised and updated third edition of the prestigious Marine and Coastal Law casebook provides an essential overview of landmark legal decisions and statutory provisions in U.S. marine and coastal law, with a particular emphasis on regulatory changes and legal conflicts involving climate change, coastal resilience/protection, and sea level rise. In addition to a thorough updating of the contents of the second edition (including editorial commentary on every case), this new revised edition features extensive new content, including two entirely new chapters and new "learning objectives" for each chapter. Produced by five experts in U.S. marine law, this third edition stands as an accessible and invaluable resource for both lay readers and legal professionals who are seeking greater understanding of the ever-evolving and frequently contentious laws and regulations governing U.S. and international fisheries, maritime shipping and transport, offshore oil and mineral resources, climate change mitigation strategies, coastal protection, marine pollution, and port and harbor operations.

Book Description
The goal of the book Fish Biology and Fisheries is to help integrate the study of fish biology with the study of fisheries. One might not expect these two subjects to need further integration. However, strong declines in many fish stocks around the world, combined with growing concerns about the impact of fisheries on marine and freshwater biodiversity, are raising new questions about aspects of fish biology that have traditionally dwelt outside mainstream fisheries research. Fisheries form an important sector of the country's economy in terms of food supply, employment, income and foreign exchange earnings. Fishes are one of the important sources of cheap protein food for the people and millions of fishermen and several industries depend on this source. Lack of a comprehensive treatise on the biology of fishes has prompted this humble piece of work leading to Essentials of Fish Biology. A wide coverage of fish biology will make it of interest not only to ichthyologist but to professional fishery biologist as well desiring to learn basic structure and function of fish body in daily life of the fish. This is an ideal textbook of fish biology which will serve as valuable work for undergraduates and graduates looking for a comprehensive source on a wide variety of topics in fish Biology and Fisheries.
