Description:This amendment document and environmental assessment (EA) present and evaluate management alternatives and measures to achieve specific goals and objectives for the scup fishery (section 4.0). This document was prepared by the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council in consultation with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). This amendment is being developed in accordance with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act1 (MSFCMA, M-S Act) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the former being the primary domestic legislation governing fisheries management in the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). In 1996, Congress passed the Sustainable Fisheries Act (SFA), which amended and reauthorized the MSFCMA and included a new emphasis on precautionary fisheries management. New provisions mandated by the SF A require managers to end overfishing and rebuild overfished fisheries within specified time frames. Most recently, the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act of 2006 was passed by Congress.
