Abstract:
RIN 0648-BD52 amends current tuna conservation measures in the longline and purse seine fisheries operating in the IATTC Convention Area by: 1) Establishing a 500 metric ton catch limit on bigeye tuna caught by longline vessels greater than 24 meters in length in the IATTC Convention Area during 2014 through 2016; 2) Prohibiting purse seine vessels of class size 4 to 6 (greater than 182 metric tons in carrying capacity) from fishing for yellowfin, bigeye, and skipjack tunas in the IATTC Convention Area for a period of 62 days in each year 2014, 2015, and 2016, and allowing exceptions for: a) Purse seine vessels of class size 4 (between 182 and 272 metric tons carrying capacity) to make a single fishing trip of up to 30 days duration during the closed period, provided that the vessel carries an observer of the On-Board Observer Program of the Agreement on the International Dolphin Conservation Program; b) In the event of force majeure (vessels disabled by mechanical and/or structural failure, fire, or explosion) rendering a purse seine vessel unable to proceed to sea outside of a closure period for at least 62 days (the prescribed closure period), the vessel owner may request an exemption from the closure period and if the request is accepted by the IATTC, the purse seine vessel owner may observe a reduced closure period of 30 consecutive days; 3) Closing the fishery for yellowfin, bigeye, and skipjack tuna within the area of 96º and 110ºW and between 4°N and 3°S to purse seine vessels of class size 4 to 6 from 0000 hours on September 29 to 2400 hours on October 29, in years 2014, 2015, and 2016.
