View Rule

This rule revised how accountability measures are triggered for stocks and stock complexes with sector-specific management that fall under the Caribbean Fishery Management Council's reef fish fishery management plan i.e., those in Federal waters off the coast of Puerto Rico. The objective is to increase the likelihood that optimum yield is achieved for those stocks and stock complexes. This action requires application of an accountability measure only if the total (combined recreational and commercial) annual catch limit for a stock or stock complex is exceeded. Previously, accountability measures were triggered through a sector-specific determination regarding whether annual catch limit has been exceeded. The rule maintains sector-specific accountability measures while continuing to prevent overfishing, and would minimize, to the extent practicable, adverse socio-economic effects of accountability measure-based closures.
