Description:"NMFS proposes to specify an annual catch limit (ACL) and accountability measures (AM) for crustacean and precious coral stocks and stock complexes in American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Hawaii. The ACLs and AMs will be applicable in fishing years 2012 and 2013, which run from January 1 to December 31 for crustacean fisheries, and from July 1 to June 30 the following year for precious coral fisheries. The purpose of this action is to comply with provisions of the fishery ecosystem plans (FEP) for American Samoa. the Mariana Archipelago, and Hawaii which require NMFS to specify an ACL for each stock and stock complex in the western Pacific crustacean and precious coral fisheries and implement AMs that prevent ACLs from being exceeded, and correct or mitigate overages should they occur. The ACL specifications and AMs were developed by the Council using the best available scientific information and were coordinated with the public. The ACLs and AMs are intended to provide for long-term sustainability of crustacean and precious coral fisheries of the western Pacific "--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.
