Description:This Environmental Assessment/Regulatory Impact Review/Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (EA/RIR/FRFA) evaluates alternatives to further conserve fish habitat in the eastern Bering Sea (EBS). In February 2005, the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) took final action on the essential fish habitat (EFH) environmental impact statement (EIS) to adopt a suite of measures to conserve EFH in the Gulf of Alaska and Aleutian Islands from potential impacts due to fishing. At the same time, the Council took no action to implement additional conservation measures in the EBS. Since that action, the Council and NMFS are now considering additional precautionary measures to minimize potential adverse effects of nonpelagic trawl fishing in the EBS. This EA tiers off of the 2005 EFH EIS and considers open and closed areas, as well as gear modifications, for the nonpelagic trawl fishery.
