Title: Amendment 12 to the Coastal Pelagic Species (CPS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP) 
Abstract: The Pacific Fishery Management Council amends its Coastal Pelagic Species (CPS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP) to ensure the protection of krill and the resources which depend on or are sensitive to the abundance and availability of krill off the West Coast. The Amendment would add krill to the management unit species of the CPS FMP, establish a prohibited harvest category of management unit species in the CPS FMP, place krill in the prohibited harvest category and thus prohibit the harvest and retention of krill in the exclusive economic zone, and deny the use of the exempted fishing permit process under the CPS FMP to allow krill fishing.
