Title: Amendment 10 to the Fishery Management Plan for Spiny Lobster in the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic
Abstract: The 2006 Reauthorization of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSFCMA) included a number of changes to improve conservation of managed fishery resources. Included in these changes are requirements that the Regional Councils must establish both a mechanism for specifying annual catch limits (ACLs) at a level such that overfishing does not occur in the fishery, and accountability measures (AMs) to correct if overages occur. Accountability measures are management controls to prevent the ACLs from being exceeded and to correct by either in-season or post-season measures if they do occur. The Spiny Lobster fishery is jointly managed by the Gulf and South Atlantic Councils. Amendment 10 to the FMP will set ACLs and AMs, review current regulations, and implement reasonable and prudent measures from the Biological Opinion.
