Title: A Maximized Retention and Monitoring Program for the Pacific Whiting Shoreside Fishery | |
Abstract: The action is to establish a maximized retention and monitoring program in the Pacific whiting shoreside fishery off the coast of Washington, Oregon, and California. The shoreside whiting fishery has been managed under an annually-issued exempted fisheries permit since 1992. Exempted fishing permits are intended to be used as a short-term temporary and exploratory response to issues that potentially should be addressed by permanent regulations. Establishing maximized retention requirements and a federal monitoring program will allow the National Marine Fisheries Service to: Account for Chinook salmon catch as specified in the Endangered Species Act section 7 Biological Opinion for Chinook salmon catch in the Pacific groundfish fishery; meet standardized bycatch reporting requirements specified by the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act; collect biological data on catch that would otherwise not be available; and create the regulatory structure necessary to efficiently manage the Pacific whiting fishery without exempted fishing permits. | |
