National Marine Fisheries Service (1997). "Development of Guidelines
for Providing Scientific Advice to Implement Precautionary
Management." National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
Silver Spring, Maryland, December, 4 pp.
A team (6 to 10 individuals) with expertise in stock assessment and the
development of management guidelines will be responsible for drafting the
guidelines. The team will meet 3 to 4 times to discuss areas that need to be
covered in the guidelines, to develop an outline for the guidelines, and to
review the draft guidelines and make revisions. It is anticipated that a
variety of analyses may be necessary and that team members may be tasked with
conducting such analyses. The initial draft will be written by 2 or 3 of the
team members with input, discussion and review by the entire team. The
National Stock Assessment Workshop, to be held in February 1998, will provide
a forum for discussion and collaboration among NMFS assessment scientists.

Amendment 9. Final Rule, National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, Silver Spring, MD.
NMFS issues this final rule to implement Amendment 9 to the Fishery
Management Plan for the Shrimp Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico (FMP). Amendment
9 requires, with limited exceptions, the use of certified bycatch reduction
devices (BRDs) in shrimp trawls in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in the
Gulf of Mexico shoreward of the 100 fathom (fm) (183 meter) depth contour west
of 85 o 30' W. long.; sets the bycatch reduction criterion for the
certification for BRDs; and establishes an FMP framework procedure for
modifying the bycatch reduction criterion, for establishing and modifying the
BRD testing protocol and its specifications, and for certifying and
decertifying BRDs. The intended effects are to reduce the unwanted bycatch
mortality of juvenile red snapper and, to the extent practicable, not
adversely affect the shrimp fishery in the Gulf of Mexico.

A call for public comments on NMFS proposed revisions to the guidelines
for national standards 1 (optimum yield), 2 (scientific information), 4
(allocations), 5 (efficiency), and 7 (cost and benefits), and adds guidelines
for new national standards 8 (communities), 9 (bycatch), and 10 (safety of

This plan is the result of a series of workshops initiated by the
fishing industry in 1992 to clearly articulate the NMFS objectives,
priorities, and strategies regarding bycatch. Included are proposed national
bycatch objectives, specific recommendations concerning data collection,
evaluation and management actions necessary to attain the objectives, and a
