Résumé

This Amendment to the Fishery Management Plan for Coastal Migratory Pelagic Resources of the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic makes a number of changes in the management regime for Spanish mackerel, King mackerel and Cobia. The Amendment: extends the management area for Atlantic groups of mackerels through the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council's (MAFMC) area of jurisdiction; revises problems in the fishery and plan objectives; revises the fishing year for Gulf group Spanish mackerel from July-June to April-March; revises the definition of "overfishing"; adds cobia to the annual stock assessment procedure; provides that the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (SAFMC) will be responsible for pre-season adjustments of TACs and bag limits for the Atlantic migratory groups of mackerels while the Gulf Council will be responsible for Gulf migratory groups; continues to manage the two recognized Gulf migratory groups of king mackerel as one until management measures appropriate to the eastern and western groups can be determined; redefines recreational bag limits as daily limits; deletes a provision that specified that bag limit catches of mackerel may be sold; provides guidelines for corporate commercial vessel permits; specifies that Gulf group king mackerel may be taken only by hook-and-line and run-around gill nets; imposes a bag limit of two cobia per person per day for all fishermen; established a minimum size for king mackerel and includes a definition of "conflict" to provide guidance to the Secretary.
