Description:This document contains an Environmental Assessment for Amendment 96 to the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) Management Area and Amendment 87 to the FMP for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). This action is necessary to comply with requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) to prevent overfishing, achieve optimum yield, and to comply with statutory requirements for annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures (AMs). Species and species groups must be identified in the fishery for which ACLs and AMs would be required. An ecosystem component (EC) may also be included in the FMPs for species and species groups that are not (1) targeted for harvest, (2) likely to become overfished or subject to overfishing, and (3) generally retained for sale or personal use.
