"This document serves as Final Amendment 3 to the Skate FMP, the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) which updates and supplements the original EIS for the skate fishery (available at http://www.nefmc.org/skates/fmp/fmp.htm), and a Stock Assessment and Fishery Evaluation (SAFE) Report (Section 7.0 of this document). The purpose of the amendment is to propose and consider modifications of existing management measures or new skate fishery management measures to address the following issues: Overfished status of thorny skates; Overfishing of thorny skate; Implementation of annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures (AMs), a new mandate of the reauthorized Magnuson-Stevens Act; and A baseline review process that has become obsolete and less meaningful. The amendment also includes a new discussion and quantification of maximum sustainable yield (MSY; Section 4.1.2) and optimum yield (OY; Section 4.3). Quantification of these variables was not previously possible in the Skate FMP, due to problems with catch data and missing life history information about skates. Some of these issues have been resolved, but others have not. However the analysis of rebuilding potential in Section 8.3.1.1 has implications for sustainable catches. The estimated values at the biomass targets can serve as interim estimates or proxy values for MSY and OY, at least until better information comes forth about the population dynamics of skate species and catch reporting improves"--Executive summary (p. 3).

"Framework Adjustment I to the Northeast Skate Complex Fishery Management Plan (Skate FMP) implements several measures affecting the skate wing fishery. Framework Adjustment I was developed by the New England Fishery Management Council (Council) to adjust the possession limits for the skate wing fishery in order to slow the rate of skate wing landings, so that the available Total Allowable Landings limit (TAL) is taken by the fishery over a longer duration in the fishing year (FY) than occurred in FY 2010, thus ensuring a steady market supply. The action would also allow vessels that process skate wings at sea to land skate carcasses for sale into the bait market, without counting the carcass landings against the TAL (skate wings are already converted to live weight for monitoring). Although recommended by the Council as part of Framework I, NMFS has disapproved a proposal to increase the incidental possession limit for skate wings that would apply after the skate wing possession limit trigger is reached. Framework I does not adjust the skate fishery specifications for FY 2011"--Cover letter; Portfolio comprised of two related PDF documents digitized and organized by: NOAA Office of Program Planning and Integration (PPI) National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) staff.

The Law Library presents the complete text of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act Provisions - Fisheries of the Northeastern United States - Northeast Skate Complex Fishery (US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Regulation) (NOAA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 NMFS is implementing approved measures in Amendment 3 to the Northeast Skate Complex Fishery Management Plan (Skate FMP), including final specifications for the 2010 and 2011 fishing years (FY). Amendment 3 was developed by the New England Fishery Management Council (Council) to rebuild overfished skate stocks and implement annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures (AMs) consistent with the requirements of the reauthorized Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act). Amendment 3 implements a rebuilding plan for smooth skate and establishes an ACL and annual catch target (ACT) for the skate complex, total allowable landings (TAL) for the skate wing and bait fisheries, seasonal quotas for the bait fishery, new possession limits, in season possession limit triggers, and other measures to improve management of the skate fisheries. This interim final rule also includes skate fishery specifications for FY 2010 and 2011, pursuant to the specifications process established in Amendment 3.
