Title: Measures to Limit Fishing in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands 
Abstract: This amendment will modify the Bottomfish and Seamount Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP), the Precious Corals FMP, the Crustaceans FMP, and the Pelagics FMP by implementing regulatory measures that affect the authorized fisheries managed under those plans. The modification will bring federal fishery regulations under the Magnuson-Stevens Act into compliance with the non-discretionary provisions contained in Proclamation No. 8031, which created the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument, and further clarify discretionary fishing regulations.
