Description:
"The Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic Fishery Management Councils (Councils) jointly manage the spiny lobster fishery. NOAA Fisheries Service, in collaboration with the Councils, has developed this FSEIS to describe and analyze management alternatives to address the requirements of the Endangered Species Act. Two actions are being considered in Amendment 11: 1) closing areas to either all spiny lobster fishing or lobster trap fishing to protect threatened corals and 2) requiring markings for spiny lobster trap lines to allow identification of trap lines entangling protected species"--Abstract (page i).
