Title: Amendment 1 to the Fishery Management Plan for U.S. West Coast Fisheries for Highly Migratory Species | |
Abstract: Amendment 1 to the West Coast HMS FMP, combined with the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council's Amendment 14 will address Pacific-wide overfishing of Pacific bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus). This action is necessary per requirements contained in the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), which requires protection for, and an end to, overfishing of species managed under a Federal FMP. Amendment 1 also proposes to reorganize the HMS FMP to create a more user-friendly document as the current form is a combined FMP with the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), which evaluates the effects of its implementation. In addition to addressing overfishing of bigeye tuna, the reorganized FMP retains the management program elements required by the Magnuson-Stevens Act. Amendment 1 contains no implementing regulations. | |
