Title: ●Fisheries in the Western Pacific; Hawaii Bottomfish and Seamount Groundfish; Management Measures for Hancock Seamounts To Rebuild Overfished Armorhead 
Abstract: The National Marine Fisheries Service and Western Pacific Fishery Management Council are proposing to amend the Fishery Ecosystem Plan for the Hawaiian Archipelago. This proposed action would: (1) continue a moratorium indefinitely on fishing for armorhead (Pseudopentaceros wheeleri) until the stock is rebuilt, (2) establish a minimum rebuilding time of 35 years for the U.S. portion of the armorhead stock, and (3) classify the portion of the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone surrounding the Hancock Seamounts as an ecosystem management area.
