Description:

This document analyzes the environmental effects resulting from setting groundfish harvest specifications and management measures to manage fisheries to those specifications under the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (PCGFMP) for the 2021-22 biennium. The Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) recommends, for implementation by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), groundfish harvest specifications every two years for a biennial period/biennium, adjustments to management measures for the groundfish fisheries, and implementation of additional management measures to keep catch within established limits.

In addition to harvest specifications and management measures for the 2021-2022 biennium, this document discusses the potential long-term biological effects of changing the Council’s default harvest control rule for five stocks: cowcod south of 40°10’ N. lat., Petrale sole, Oregon black rockfish (as part of the Oregon black/blue/deacon rockfish complex), sablefish, and shortbelly rockfish. Changes to shortbelly rockfish were undertaken through Amendment 29 to the PCGFMP. All of these changes make up the Council’s recommended action (Section 1.1). The proposed action must conform to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), the principal legal basis for fishery management within the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
