Description:"This environmental assessment (EA) describes and analyzes the impacts of action the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to take to implement an international fisheries agreement, the Convention on the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (hereafter, "the Convention"). The Convention was signed in Honolulu in September 2000 and came into force in June 2004. The Convention was ratified by, and came into force for, the United States in 2007. The Convention text can be found at http://www.wcpfc.int. The proposed action described and analyzed in this EA is intended to implement the provisions of the Convention itself and not, with some minor exceptions, the decisions of the commission established by the Convention. The proposed action will establish the initial set of regulations needed for the United States to fulfill its obligations as a Party to the Convention"--Page 1-2.
