Description:

"The environmental assessment analyzes two actions to amend the Fishery Management Plan for Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands King and Tanner Crabs (FMP). Action 1 would amend the FMP to specify the method by which the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) will establish annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures (AMs). ACLs and AMs are required by the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act). ACLs would be established based upon an acceptable biological catch control rule set forth in the FMP to account for the uncertainty in the overfishing limit and any other scientific uncertainty. Action 2 would amend the FMP to rebuild the snow crab stock in compliance with the Magnuson-Stevens Act. This document addresses the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act by analyzing the impacts of the alternatives considered under both actions upon crab resources, fishery participants, habitat, marine mammals, and other groundfish resources. The analysis contained in the Environmental Assessment shows that the proposed actions will not significantly impact the quality of the human environment"--Cover letter; Portfolio comprised of three related PDF documents digitized and organized by: NOAA Office of Program Planning and Integration (PPI) National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) staff.
