Title: Amendment 10 to the Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish Fishery Management Plan
Abstract: The purpose of Amendment 10 is to: (1) Develop a rebuilding program that allows the butterfish stock to rebuild in the shortest amount of time possible (but not to exceed ten years) and permanently protects the long-term health and stability of the rebuilt stock; (2) minimize bycatch and the fishing mortality of unavoidable bycatch, to the extent practicable, in mackerel, squid, and butterfish (MSB) fisheries; and (3) minimize the race to fish and promote efficient use of fishing capital in Loligo and Illex fisheries while providing a means for the industry to proactively engage in resource governance and to provide greater flexibility in developing management measures that fit localized needs through the development of sectors in the Loligo and Illex fisheries.
