Book Description
"In December 2008, the Commission for the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (hereafter Commission or WCPFC) adopted 'Conservation and Management Measure for Bigeye and Yellowfin Tuna in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean' (CMM 2008-01). CMM 2008-01 set forth specific provisions to reduce fishing mortality on western and central Pacific Ocean (WCPO) bigeye tuna (Thunnus obsesus) and control fishing mortality on WCPO yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares). CMM 2008-01 had the stated objective of reducing, over the period 2009-2011, the fishing mortality rate for bigeye tuna in the WCPO by at least 30% from the annual average during the period 2001-2004 or 2004 and ensuring that there was no increase in fishing mortality for yellowfin tuna beyond the annual average during the period 2001-2004 or 2004. In March 2011, the Commission adopted 'Conservation and Management Measure for Temporary Extension of CMM 2008-01' (CMM 2011-01), which extends the majority of the provisions of CMM 2008-01 until February 28, 2013. The Commission is scheduled to discuss a follow-on measure to CMM 2008-01 at its next regular session in December 2012. In 2009, NMFS prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) that analyzed the effects on the human environment that could result from the promulgation of two rules to implement CMM 2008-01. In order to respond to public comments on the 2009 EA, NMFS prepared a Supplemental EA in 2009. NMFS has prepared a Supplemental EA (2012 SEA) to provide information and analyses to take into consideration significant new information and changed circumstances relevant to the proposed action and the assessment of its potential environmental impacts. The 2012 SEA analyzes the effects of an interim final rule that would extend the bigeye tuna catch limits specified in CMM 2011-01 for U.S. longline fisheries for 2012"--cover letter.

Book Description
"The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) to analyze the effects on the human environment that could result from implementation of two rules to implement certain decisions made by the Commission for the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPFC) at its Fifth Regular Session, in Busan, Republic of Korea, in December 2008. One rule implements specific management measures for the U.S. purse seine fleet operating in the western and central Pacific Ocean (WCPO) (hereafter 'U.S. Purse Seine Rule'). The other rule implements a specific catch limit established by the WCPFC for bigeye tuna (Thunnus obsesus) for the U.S. longline fleets in the WCPO (hereafter 'U.S. Longline Rule'). NMFS issued the EA ('Environmental Assessment for the Implementation of the Decisions of the Fifth Regular Annual Session of the Commission for the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean: Fishing Restrictions and Observer Requirements in Purse Seine Fisheries for 2009-2011 and Turtle Mitigation Requirements in Purse Seine Fisheries and Bigeye Tuna Catch Limits in Longline Fisheries in 2009, 2010, and 2011') in draft form in conjunction with the issuance of the proposed U.S. Purse Seine Rule on June 1, 2009, for public review and comment. Two comment letters were received, one of which included comments on the EA, including several comments pertaining to the U.S. Longline Rule. NMFS issued the proposed U.S. Longline Rule on July 8, 2009, for public review and comment, reissuing the EA in draft form. NMFS received six comment letters, two of which raised issues pertaining to the EA. On August 4, 2009, NMFS issued the final U.S. Purse Seine Rule as well as the EA (July 2009 version), finding of no significant impact for the U.S. Purse Seine Rule, and an Errata sheet, indicating several corrections to the draft EA. In the final rule, NMFS indicated that the specific comments pertaining to the U.S. Longline Rule would be addressed, as appropriate, in the context of the U.S. Longline Rule. This Supplemental EA has been prepared to address those comments received on the U.S. Longline Rule that can be answered by additional environmental analysis or information. The Supplemental EA has been prepared pursuant to the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.) and related authorities, such as the Council on Environmental Quality's (CEQ) Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of NEPA (40 CFR Parts 1500-1508) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Environmental Review Procedures for Implementing NEPA (NAO 216-6). This document supplements the EA and refers to specific sections of the EA, where appropriate; as a supplement it is meant to be read in conjunction with the original EA."--Page 9-10.

Book Description
"By examining a suite of over 90 indicators for nine major U.S. fishery ecosystem jurisdictions, Link and Marshak systematically track the progress the U.S. has made toward advancing ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) and making it an operational reality. Covering a range of socioeconomic, governance, environmental forcing, major pressures, systems ecology, and fisheries criteria, they evaluate progress toward EBFM in the U.S., covering a wide range of longitude, latitude, and parts of major ocean basins, representing over 10% of the world’s ocean surface area. They view progress toward the implementation of EBFM as synonymous with improved management of living marine resources in general, and highlight lessons learned from a national perspective. Although US-centric, the lessons learned are applicable for all parts of the global ocean. Though much work remains, significant progress has been made to better address many of the challenges facing the sustainable management of our living marine resources"--Publisher's description.

Book Description
"The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is issuing regulations under authority of the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Convention Implementation Act to establish restrictions on the use of fish aggregating devices (FADs) by U.S. purse seine vessels in the western and central Pacific Ocean. The restrictions include a prohibition on setting on FADs and other specific uses of FADs during January and February, and July through September of 2015, and a limit of 3,061 sets that may be made on FADs in 2015. This action is necessary for the United States to implement provisions of a conservation and management measure adopted by the Commission for the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean and to satisfy the obligations of the United States under the Convention on the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean, to which it is a Contracting Party. NMFS prepared a supplemental environmental assessment (SEA) that analyzed two action alternatives for implementing the FAD restrictions for 2015, as well as the No-Action Alternative. One action alternative (Alternative 2) would prohibit setting on FADs and on fish that have aggregated in association with a fishing vessel, in the WCPFC’s area of competence between the latitudes of 20° North and 20° South, from July 1 through September 30, 2015. There would also be a specified 2,202 limit on the number of FAD sets that could be made in 2015. The other action alternative (Alternative 3, which is NMFS’ preferred alternative and what is being implemented in the final rule) would prohibit setting on FADs and on fish that have aggregated in association with a fishing vessel, in the Convention Area between the latitudes of 20° North and 20° South, during the months of January, February, July, August and September in 2015. There would also be a specified 3,061 limit on the number of FAD sets that could be made in 2015. The SEA concluded that all of the alternatives would have similar and minor effects to resources in the human environment. However, the extent of the effects could vary somewhat depending on the period of time that the FAD restrictions would be in effect under the different action alternatives"--Summary from cover letter.

Book Description
"At its Eleventh Regular Session, in December 2014, the Commission for the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (Commission or WCPFC) adopted Conservation and Management Measure (CMM) 2014-01, "Conservation and Management Measure for Bigeye, Yellowfin and Skipjack Tuna in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean." CMM 2014-01 is generally applicable for the 2015-2017 calendar year period, and only contains minor modifications to CMM 2013-01, the predecessor CMM for the three main tropical tunas (skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis), yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares), and bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus)). CMM 2014-01 includes provisions for purse seine vessels and longline vessels. The CMM's provisions for purse seine vessels include limits on the allowable level of fishing effort, restrictions on the use of fish aggregating devices, and a general provision not to increase catches of yellowfin tuna. The CMM's provisions for longline vessels include catch limits for bigeye tuna and a general provision not to increase catches of yellowfin tuna"--Cover letter summary.
