Description:"This amendment includes two management actions. Preferred Alternative 2 for Action 1 proposes to modify the seasonal closure of Bajo de Sico to a 6 month closure from October 1 through March 31 each year to provide better protection for red hind spawning aggregations, large snappers and groupers, and coral reef habitat. Sub-Alternative 2d defines the closure as prohibiting fishing for and possession of all reef fish species managed by the Caribbean Fishery Management Council (Council). Preferred Alternative 3 for Action 2 proposes to prohibit anchoring year-round in Bajo de Sico to provide further EFH [essential fish habitat] protection"--P. 1; 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.
