Description:The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to issue a Special Coral Reef Ecosystem Fishing Permit (SCREFP) to Kampachi Farms, LLC, to allow fishing for Almaco jack (Seriola rivoliana), or kampachi, using a new gear type not currently authorized under NMFS' regulations (50 CFR Part 665). This new gear consists of a net pen system that would be tethered to an existing mooring located in Federal waters approximately 5.5 nm offshore west of Keauhou Bay on the Island of Hawaii. The permit would authorize the applicant to fish for (including the culture and harvest of) a maximum amount of 30,000 Kampachi or approximately 120,000 lb (54 mt) over two years. This environmental assessment analyzes the potential impacts of this proposed action on the human environment.
