SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation
and Management Act, 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq., as amended by the
Sustainable Fisheries Act, Public Law 104-297, provided for the
establishment of an AP to assist in the collection and evaluation of
information relevant to the development of any FMP or FMP amendment for
Atlantic HMS. NMFS consults with and considers the comments and views
of AP members when preparing and implementing FMPs or FMP amendments
for Atlantic tunas, swordfish, billfish, and sharks.
The AP has previously consulted with NMFS on: Amendment 1 to the
Billfish FMP (April 1999); the HMS FMP (April 1999); Amendment 1 to the
HMS FMP (December 2003); the Consolidated HMS FMP (October 2006); and
Amendments 1, 2, 3, 4, 5a, 5b, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 to the 2006
Consolidated HMS FMP (April and October 2008, February and September
2009, May and September 2010, April and September 2011, March and
September 2012, January and September 2013, April and September 2014,
March and September 2015, and March, September, and December 2016, and
May and September 2017), among other things.
The intent of this meeting is to consider alternatives for the
conservation and management of all Atlantic tunas, swordfish, billfish,
and shark fisheries. We anticipate discussing:
Short- and long-term management of Atlantic shortfin mako
(emergency rule extension and Draft Amendment 11);
Bluefin tuna management (Three-year review of Amendment 7
measures and next steps)
Progress updates on a number of other actions such as
Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management; Amendment 12 (rulemaking to
implement NMFS national policy directives); weak-hook and area based
management; cross-regional vessel electronic reporting (e.g., eVTR,
SEFHIER, eTrips); and spatial management options.
Shark management in general (Amendment 14 regarding quota
management; catch-per-unit-effort for sharks; and shark stock
assessments)
We also anticipate inviting other NMFS offices to provide updates,
if available, on their activities relevant to HMS fisheries such as
updates to the Marine Recreational Information Program. The State
Department will be invited to provide updates on U.S./Bahama EEZ
boundary negotiations. Finally, we intend to invite other NMFS offices
and the United States Coast Guard to provide updates on their
activities relevant to HMS fisheries.
Additional information on the meeting and a copy of the draft
agenda will be posted prior to the meeting at: https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/event/september-2018-hms-advisory-panel-meeting.
