SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Agenda

    In the November 2015, the New Jersey Department of Environmental 
Protection (DEP) petitioned the Mid-Atlantic Council to designate 13 
artificial reef sites as SMZ's in the EEZ under provisions of Amendment 
9 to the Summer Flounder, Scup and Black Sea Bass Fishery Management 
Plan. The justification for this request was based on the need to 
ameliorate gear conflicts between hook and line fishermen and fixed 
pot/trap gear at those sites. The Council received a report from the 
SMZ Monitoring Team (MT) at its October 2016 meeting which evaluated 
the NJDEP request relative to the following factors: (1) Fairness and 
equity; (2) promotion of conservation; (3) avoidance of excessive 
shares; (4) consistency with the objectives of Amendment 9, the 
Magnuson-Stevens Act, and other applicable law; (5) the natural bottom 
in and surrounding potential SMZs; and (6) impacts on historical uses. 
The MT's analysis concluded that the designation of the NJDEP 13 reef 
sites appears to be compatible with the Magnuson-Stevens Act and other 
applicable federal law. Based on evaluation of all relevant factors and 
issues as outlined in Amendment 9, the SMZ Monitoring Team recommended 
that the Council designate all 13 New Jersey's artificial reefs located 
in the EEZ as SMZs. The SMZ designation could stipulate that no fishing 
vessel or person on a fishing vessel may fish in the 13 New Jersey 
Special Management Zones with any gear except hook and line and spear 
fishing (including the taking of fish by hand). The MT analysis 
indicated that commercial fishing vessels deploying pot/trap gear off 
the coast of New Jersey would likely face minimal to no losses in ex-
vessel revenue if the artificial reefs are designated as SMZs. The 
Council discussed the MT's recommendations and decided to hold public 
hearings in November 2016 in NJ and NY to solicit public comments on 
the NJ SMZ request. The Council is seeking public comment on NJ's SMZ 
request and is scheduled to make a decision relative to NJ's request at 
its December 2016 meeting in Annapolis, MD.
