Résumé

This Fishery Ecosystem Plan (FEP), developed by the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council as an FMP in accordance with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA), concerns ecosystem approaches to fishery management in the Pacific Remote Island Areas (PRIA) of Baker, Jarvis, Wake and Howland Islands, Kingman Reef, and Johnston and Palmyra Atolls. This FEP, in conjunction with the Council's American Samoa Archipelago, Hawaii Archipelago, Mariana Archipelago and Pacific Pelagic FEPs, replaces the Council's existing Bottomfish and Seamount Groundfish, Coral Reef Ecosystems, Crustaceans, Precious Corals and Pelagic Fishery Management Plans. It reorganizes their associated regulations into a place-based structure aligned with all FEPs of the Council. This FEP does not establish any new fishery management regulations at this time but rather consolidates existing fishery regulations for demersal species. It identifies topics in ecosystem approaches to management and identifies ten overarching objectives to guide the Council in further implementing ecosystem approaches to management. Community input and local knowledge into the management process approaches to management are incorporated in the management process. This FEP and actions taken under it shall be in accordance with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Endangered Species Act, the Marine Mammal Protection Act, and other applicable laws and statutes.
