Title: Western Pacific Fishery Ecosystem Plans & Regulatory Reorganization | |
Abstract: New Fishery Ecosystem Plans (FEPs) developed by the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council would employ ecosystem approaches to fishery management. The five place-based FEPs (Pelagics, American Samoa, Hawaii, Mariana Islands, and Pacific Remote Island Areas) would replace the five existing species-based fishery management plans (Pelagics, Bottomfish and Seamount Groundfish, Crustaceans, Precious Corals, and Coral Reef Ecosystems). This action would also reorganize western Pacific regulations in 50 CFR 665 geographically according to the new FEPs, making the regulations better organized and easier to use for managers, the regulated community, and the general public. | |
