- The 1997 annual report provides a set of descriptors and indicators of the bottom fish fisheries from American Samoa, Guam, Hawaii and the Northern Mariana Islands. The descriptors are designed to document recent trends in landings, effort, participation, revenue and prices. Should management action be recommended, descriptor information will aid in assessing potential impacts of the action on fishery participants. The indicators are quantifiable and measurable tools used to identify signs of stress in the stocks or the fishery. Based on changes over time in indicator levels, the Bottom fish Plan Team (BPn may identify 11yellow light" situations (i.e., where stress is first detected) and recommend that either management action or additional study be undertaken or "red light" situations where immediate management action is needed. 1
- The Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic Councils (Councils) propose an amendment to the Fishery Management Plan for Coral and Coral Reefs of the Gulf of Mexico and the South Atlantic (FMP) that adds "live rock" to the fishery management unit. Live rock means certain living marine organisms or an assemblage thereof attached to a hard substrate (including dead coral or rock). In addition to corals, these organisms include anemones, sponges, tube worms, bryozoans, sea squirts, and algae. 1
- The most important fish ( economically, culturally and socially) in the Pacific are oceanic and pelagic, meaning they live in the near-surface waters of the ocean, often far from shore. Tuna, billfish and other large pelagic species are among the world's most popular fish sought for food and sport. These fish are noteworthy for their rapid growth and, for the tunas, high rates of reproduction, as well as their remarkable swimming speed and stamina. Unlike nearshore pelagic species or bottom-dwelling fish that spend most of their lives near islands, pelagic fish move freely in the oceanic environment. Variations in the distribution and abundance of these nomadic species are often related to differences between their life history profiles, migration patterns and habits that are affected by ever-changing environmental influences, such as water temperatures, current patterns and the availability of food. 1
- The reasons why changes are being proposed are discussed in the section titled "Purpose and Need for Action". Proposed Alternatives are summarized under "Proposed Actions". A brief overview of the current stock assessment and findings of the Reef Fish Stock Assessment Panel (RFSAP) is in "Status of the Gag Stock" followed by a synopsis of spawning potential ratio (SPR). A detailed discussion of the rationale, biological impacts, socioeconomic impacts, and regulatory impacts of both the alternatives presented is in "Management Alternatives and Regulatory Impact Review". The "History of Management" provides a summary of all changes to the management of groupers since the Reef Fish Fishery Management Plan was implemented. 1
- The recreational fisheries in the Gulf region are larger than other east coast regions in terms of landings and participants. During 1995 and 1996, an average of about 4.0 million persons participated in marine recreational fishing in the Gulf states (National Marine Fisheries Service [NMFS] 1997) (Page Campbell, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department [TPWD], personal comm). They made approximately 26. 7 million trips annually and landed approximately 205 million pounds of fish. Marine recreational fishermen in the Gulf states spent $3.5 billion and created an overall economic impact of$7.0 billion (ASFA, 1997). 1
- This American Samoa Archipelago Fishery Ecosystem Plan (FEP) was developed by the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council and represents the first step in an incremental and collaborative approach to implement ecosystem approaches to fishery management in American Samoa. 1
- This document assesses impacts to terrestrial and marine habitats within the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument (PMNM or Monument) at Lalo (French Frigate Shoals) in light of a rapidly changing climate. It frames the existing problem(s) and proposes a path forward with respect to investigations and other actions warranted to better understand, predict, and adapt to climate-related impacts at Lalo. It lays out a plan to engage the larger inter-agency working group in this exercise, in a robust and sustainable manner necessary to protect and maintain healthy ecosystems and ecosystem services within PMNM in the coming decades. 1
- This Hawaii Archipelago Fishery Ecosystem Plan (FEP) was developed by the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council and represents the first step in an incremental and collaborative approach to implement ecosystem approaches to fishery management in the Hawaii Archipelago. 1
- This is a regulatory amendment, sometimes known as a framework procedure amendment, to the Reef Fish Fishery Management Plan. A regulatory amendment is used to implement changes to the Total Allowable Catch (TAC) for a reef fish Stock or Stock complex, along with any changes to fishing regulations size limits. bag and trip limits. etc.) that are needed to achieve the TAC. The TAC is a level of fishing intended to obtain Optimum Yield and to prevent overfishing, or to follow a recovery plan when a stock is overfished. Regulatory fishing amendments differ from a plan amendments in that they are used to set TACs and associated regulations, whereas plan amendments are used to make changes in the basic policies and procedures defired in a fishery management plan. A regulatory amendment is limited in its scope and follows a specific procedure which is described later in this document. 1
- This Mariana Archipelago Fishery Ecosystem Plan (FEP) was developed by the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council and represents the first step in an incremental and collaborative approach to implement ecosystem approaches to fishery management in Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). 1
- This Pacific Remote Island Areas Fishery Ecosystem Plan (FEP) was developed by the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council and represents the first step in an incremental and collaborative approach to implement ecosystem approaches to fishery management in the Pacific Remote Island Areas (PRIA) of Baker Island, Johnston Island, Ja.rvis Island, Johnston Atoll, Kingman Reef, Wake Island and Palmyra Atoll. 1

- The 1997 annual report provides a set of descriptors and indicators of the bottom fish fisheries from American Samoa, Guam, Hawaii and the Northern Mariana Islands. The descriptors are designed to document recent trends in landings, effort, participation, revenue and prices. Should management action be recommended, descriptor information will aid in assessing potential impacts of the action on fishery participants. The indicators are quantifiable and measurable tools used to identify signs of stress in the stocks or the fishery. Based on changes over time in indicator levels, the Bottom fish Plan Team (BPn may identify 11yellow light" situations (i.e., where stress is first detected) and recommend that either management action or additional study be undertaken or "red light" situations where immediate management action is needed. (1)
- The Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic Councils (Councils) propose an amendment to the Fishery Management Plan for Coral and Coral Reefs of the Gulf of Mexico and the South Atlantic (FMP) that adds "live rock" to the fishery management unit. Live rock means certain living marine organisms or an assemblage thereof attached to a hard substrate (including dead coral or rock). In addition to corals, these organisms include anemones, sponges, tube worms, bryozoans, sea squirts, and algae. (1)
- The most important fish ( economically, culturally and socially) in the Pacific are oceanic and pelagic, meaning they live in the near-surface waters of the ocean, often far from shore. Tuna, billfish and other large pelagic species are among the world's most popular fish sought for food and sport. These fish are noteworthy for their rapid growth and, for the tunas, high rates of reproduction, as well as their remarkable swimming speed and stamina. Unlike nearshore pelagic species or bottom-dwelling fish that spend most of their lives near islands, pelagic fish move freely in the oceanic environment. Variations in the distribution and abundance of these nomadic species are often related to differences between their life history profiles, migration patterns and habits that are affected by ever-changing environmental influences, such as water temperatures, current patterns and the availability of food. (1)
- The reasons why changes are being proposed are discussed in the section titled "Purpose and Need for Action". Proposed Alternatives are summarized under "Proposed Actions". A brief overview of the current stock assessment and findings of the Reef Fish Stock Assessment Panel (RFSAP) is in "Status of the Gag Stock" followed by a synopsis of spawning potential ratio (SPR). A detailed discussion of the rationale, biological impacts, socioeconomic impacts, and regulatory impacts of both the alternatives presented is in "Management Alternatives and Regulatory Impact Review". The "History of Management" provides a summary of all changes to the management of groupers since the Reef Fish Fishery Management Plan was implemented. (1)
- The recreational fisheries in the Gulf region are larger than other east coast regions in terms of landings and participants. During 1995 and 1996, an average of about 4.0 million persons participated in marine recreational fishing in the Gulf states (National Marine Fisheries Service [NMFS] 1997) (Page Campbell, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department [TPWD], personal comm). They made approximately 26. 7 million trips annually and landed approximately 205 million pounds of fish. Marine recreational fishermen in the Gulf states spent $3.5 billion and created an overall economic impact of$7.0 billion (ASFA, 1997). (1)
- This American Samoa Archipelago Fishery Ecosystem Plan (FEP) was developed by the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council and represents the first step in an incremental and collaborative approach to implement ecosystem approaches to fishery management in American Samoa. (1)
- This document assesses impacts to terrestrial and marine habitats within the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument (PMNM or Monument) at Lalo (French Frigate Shoals) in light of a rapidly changing climate. It frames the existing problem(s) and proposes a path forward with respect to investigations and other actions warranted to better understand, predict, and adapt to climate-related impacts at Lalo. It lays out a plan to engage the larger inter-agency working group in this exercise, in a robust and sustainable manner necessary to protect and maintain healthy ecosystems and ecosystem services within PMNM in the coming decades. (1)
- This Hawaii Archipelago Fishery Ecosystem Plan (FEP) was developed by the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council and represents the first step in an incremental and collaborative approach to implement ecosystem approaches to fishery management in the Hawaii Archipelago. (1)
- This is a regulatory amendment, sometimes known as a framework procedure amendment, to the Reef Fish Fishery Management Plan. A regulatory amendment is used to implement changes to the Total Allowable Catch (TAC) for a reef fish Stock or Stock complex, along with any changes to fishing regulations size limits. bag and trip limits. etc.) that are needed to achieve the TAC. The TAC is a level of fishing intended to obtain Optimum Yield and to prevent overfishing, or to follow a recovery plan when a stock is overfished. Regulatory fishing amendments differ from a plan amendments in that they are used to set TACs and associated regulations, whereas plan amendments are used to make changes in the basic policies and procedures defired in a fishery management plan. A regulatory amendment is limited in its scope and follows a specific procedure which is described later in this document. (1)
- This Mariana Archipelago Fishery Ecosystem Plan (FEP) was developed by the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council and represents the first step in an incremental and collaborative approach to implement ecosystem approaches to fishery management in Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). (1)
- This Pacific Remote Island Areas Fishery Ecosystem Plan (FEP) was developed by the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council and represents the first step in an incremental and collaborative approach to implement ecosystem approaches to fishery management in the Pacific Remote Island Areas (PRIA) of Baker Island, Johnston Island, Ja.rvis Island, Johnston Atoll, Kingman Reef, Wake Island and Palmyra Atoll.
