Title: ●Amendment 2 of the Fishery Management Plan for U.S. West Coast Fisheries for Highly Migratory Species | |
Abstract: This action would implement the preferred alternative under Amendment 2 of the Pacific Fishery Management Council's (Council) Fishery Management Plan for U.S. West Coast Fisheries for Highly Migratory Species (HMS FMP). Amendment 2 would revise part of the HMS FMP to ensure that it is consistent with new guidelines to meet the objectives of MSA National Standard 1 in order to more effectively prevent overfishing and rebuild overfished stocks, or stocks that may become overfished. The proposed rule would change the list of Management Unit Species codified in the HMS FMP final rule and modify the process the Council would use for the adoption of the numerical estimates of maximum sustainable yield, optimal yield, and status determination criteria. Adoption of updated numerical estimates would be submitted as recommendations for NMFS to provide the opportunity for Secretarial review. | |
