Description:

This amendment adds new Magnuson-Stevens Act definitions to the fishery management plans (FMPs) of the western Pacific region and addresses the requirement of the Act that any FMP contain provisions regarding bycatch, fishing sectors, essential fish habitat (EFH), fishing communities and overfishing. The amendment compiles the best available scientific information pertaining to each of these new provisions and incorporates it directly or by reference into the Western Pacific Council's FMPs for bottomfish and seamount groundfish, pelagics, crustaceans and precious corals fisheries. In addition, the amendment identifies other scientific data that are needed to more effectively address the new provisions. A summary of the Council's response to each provision follows
