Title: Amendment 21 to the Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish Fishery Management Plan | |
Abstract:
In response to action by the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council to integrate chub mackerel as a stock managed under the Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish Fishery Management Plan, this rulemaking action proposes to replace preliminary chub mackerel management measures implemented in August 2017 under the Unmanaged Forage Omnibus Amendment that expire December 31, 2020. The objective of this action is to sustainably manage chub mackerel consistent with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The proposed action would: identify chub mackerel management goals and objectives; designate chub mackerel essential fish habitat; create a chub mackerel management unit; specify chub mackerel status determination criteria; set chub mackerel acceptable biological catch and annual catch limits; establish a process to set chub mackerel catch limits and distribute them among commercial and recreational fisheries; create accountability measures to prevent overfishing; and establish chub mackerel permit and reporting requirements. |
