The proposed management program for live rock in the South Atlantic
region involves the following actions: (1) Define live rock and add it to the
Coral FMP management unit; (2) Redefine allowable octocorals to mean erect,
nonencrusting species of the subclass Octocorallia, except the prohibited sea
fans Gorgonia flabellum and G. ventalina, including only the substrate covered
by and within one inch of the holdfast; (3) Provide for different management
in the jurisdictional areas of the two Councils by promulgating a separate set
of management measures and regulations for the South Atlantic; (4) Prohibit
all wild live rock harvest north of Dade County Florida, and prohibit chipping
throughout the jurisdiction of the South Atlantic Council immediately. Cap
wild harvest at 485,000 pounds annually until January 1, 1996 when all wild
harvest will end; (5) Allow and facilitate aquaculture in the Exclusive
Economic Zone; (6) Require harvest permits. Permits shall be limited to
persons who have commercially landed and, where required, reported wild live
rock landings prior to the control date of February 3, 1994; (7) Require a
permit for the possession or harvest from aquaculture operations in the
Exclusive Economic Zone. Harvest from the area may only be done by the
permittee or his written designee and an administrative fee will be authorized
for the permit; (8) Require a federal permit for harvest and possession of
prohibited corals and prohibited live rock from the Exclusive Economic Zone
for scientific, educational, and restoration purposes; and (9) Establish a
optimum yield (OY) for wild live rock which is to be 485,000 pounds annually
for the South Atlantic region where harvest is allowed during 1994 and 1995,
after which it is to be zero except for that which may be allowed by permit.

This regulatory amendment to the coastal pelagics fishery management
plan was developed to spread out the harvest of Atlantic migratory group king
mackerel among the largest number of fishermen and to provide additional
biological protection by implementing commercial trip limits.
