Draft Environmental Impact Statement for a Regulatory Amendment
for the Western Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Fishery." Office of
Fisheries Conservation and Management, National Marine Fisheries
Service, 1315 East-West Highway, Silver Spring, MD.
The National Marine Fisheries Service proposes to implement a regulatory
amendment for the 1995 Atlantic bluefin tuna fishery consistent with
recommendations from the 1994 meetings of the International Commission for the
Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT). Four national quota alternatives are
examined, in combination with five domestic quota allocation alternatives, and
three access control alternatives. There are clear tradeoffs between short
term economic benefits (net commercial revenues and angler consumer surplus)
and long term biological benefits (increases in stock size). The preferred
alternative for 1995 consists of a preferred quota alternative (2200 mt) and a
preferred domestic allocation alternative (status quo). A brief discussion of
three access control alternatives is provided.

Fisheries Service, 1335 East-West Highway, Silver Spring, MD.
Discusses the benefits and costs conceptually of a permit moratorium for
highly migratory species; tuna, swordfish, and shark. Comments on draft are
also included.

Rationalization of Fisheries for Atlantic Highly Migratory
Species." A Concept Paper, Office of Fisheries Conservation and
Management, National Marine Fisheries Service, 1335 East-West
Highway, Silver Spring, MD.
This paper lays out the general options for defining a permit moratorium
as an interim management strategy to freeze fishing capacity near current
levels while working with the fishing industry and the public to develop a
more flexible, comprehensive, long term management solution. Supplemental
options papers for the U.S. Atlantic swordfish and shark fisheries have also
been prepared. Options for long term management solutions will be outlined in
a second forthcoming concept paper.
