Description:Framework Amendment 11 to the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for Coastal Migratory Pelagic (CMP) Resources of the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Region (CMP FMP) is being developed by the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) Fishery Management Council (Gulf Council) to address the results of the Southeast Data Assessment and Review (SEDAR) 38 Update (2020) stock assessment and subsequent overfishing limit (OFL) and acceptable biological catch (ABCError! Reference source not found.) recommendations from the Gulf Council’s Scientific and Statistical Committee (SSC). Framework Amendment 11 proposes revisions to the Gulf migratory group of king mackerel OFL, ABC, and the total and sector annual catch limits (ACL). King mackerel is managed jointly by the Gulf Council and South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (South Atlantic Council; together: “Councils”) under the CMP FMP. Two migratory groups of king mackerel are managed in the southeastern US: the Atlantic migratory group (Atlantic king mackerel) and the Gulf of Mexico migratory group (Gulf king mackerel). Prior to the 2016/2017 fishing season, management measures included shifting management boundaries depending on the time of year in recognition of a seasonal mixing zone between the Gulf and Atlantic king mackerel stocks. The current stock and management boundaries were established in May 2017 in Amendment 26 to the CMP FMP (GMFMC and SAFMC 2016a), and are shown in Figure 1.1.1.
