Environmental Assessment/Regulatory Impact Review for Proposed Groundfish Management Measures to Implement a 30 FM Boundary Line Off Southern Californa. 2003 Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery

摘要

The purpose of this action is to ensure that Pacific coast groundfish subject to federal management are harvested at optimum yield during 2003 and in a manner consistent with the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan, the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, and the 10 National Standards enumerated in the Act. This action is needed to provide economic relief to commercial fixed gear and recreational fishermen in southern California while keeping impacts on bocaccio and canary rockfish, and other overfished groundfish species, minimal.
