The EIS presents the details of a management program designed to ensure compliance with the Act. It proposes measures to continue formal rebuilding programs for overfished stocks and to end overfishing on those stocks where it is occurring. Appropriate management measures will be adopted to implement these rebuilding programs. The Amendment includes measures that address a wide range of other management issues."--Page 3.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"This document serves as Draft Amendment 19 to the Northeast Multispecies FMP, the Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) which updates and supplements the original EIS for the small-mesh multispecies fishery (available at http://www.nefmc.org/nemulti/planamen/GFAmend12.pdf) contained in Amendment 12 (NEFMC 2000). The purpose of the amendment is to establish and implement Annual Catch Limits (ACLs) and Accountability Measures (AMs) to bring management of the small-mesh fishery into compliance with the re-authorized Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act, using the best available science developed during and derived from the recent benchmark assessment (NEFSC 2011a). Amendment 19 (this amendment) includes and augments the measures in the Secretarial Amendment, which NMFS has developed at the same time as and in parallel with this amendment. The Secretarial Amendment followed a different approval process and contained many, but not all, of the alternatives included in this document"--Executive summary (page 1-1).

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"This document serves as Final Amendment 3 to the Skate FMP, the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) which updates and supplements the original EIS for the skate fishery (available at http://www.nefmc.org/skates/fmp/fmp.htm), and a Stock Assessment and Fishery Evaluation (SAFE) Report (Section 7.0 of this document). The purpose of the amendment is to propose and consider modifications of existing management measures or new skate fishery management measures to address the following issues: Overfished status of thorny skates; Overfishing of thorny skate; Implementation of annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures (AMs), a new mandate of the reauthorized Magnuson-Stevens Act; and A baseline review process that has become obsolete and less meaningful. The amendment also includes a new discussion and quantification of maximum sustainable yield (MSY; Section 4.1.2) and optimum yield (OY; Section 4.3). Quantification of these variables was not previously possible in the Skate FMP, due to problems with catch data and missing life history information about skates. Some of these issues have been resolved, but others have not. However the analysis of rebuilding potential in Section 8.3.1.1 has implications for sustainable catches. The estimated values at the biomass targets can serve as interim estimates or proxy values for MSY and OY, at least until better information comes forth about the population dynamics of skate species and catch reporting improves"--Executive summary (p. 3).
