Description:

"The Southeast Data, Assessment, and Review (SEDAR) assessment of the blueline tilefish stock in the South Atlantic was completed in 2013 with data through 2012. The assessment showed that blueline tilefish are overfished (population biomass or pounds in the water is too low) based on the current overfished definition, and are undergoing overfishing (rate of removal or numbers of fish removed from the water is too high). However, Regulatory Amendment 21 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Snapper Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region, which will become effective on November 6, 2014 (79 FR 60379) will change the overfished definition of the Minimum Stock Size Threshold (MSST) for species with very low natural mortality, including blueline tilefish. Under the new definition of MSST, the blueline tilefish stock in the South Atlantic will not be overfished. The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (Council) and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) are required by law to end overfishing. The primary purpose of Amendment 32 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Snapper Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region (Amendment 32) is to implement measures to reduce harvest and end overfishing of blueline tilefish. The Council is also required to specify management benchmarks such as maximum sustainable yield (MSY) and optimum yield (OY). This section is intended to serve as a SUMMARY for all the actions and alternatives in Amendment 32. It also provides background information and includes a summary of the expected biological, social, and economic effects from the management measures"--Executive summary (S-1).
