Sep 12,2011 Paul Howard 50 Water Street, Mill2 Newburyport, MA 01950 Subjecf RE: Amendment 5 Atlantic Herring Fishery Reforms Dear Paul Howard, The toll the Atlantic herring midwater trawl fleet is taking on our river herring, Atlantic herring, groundfish, and other marine species, including those species that depend upon Atlantic herring and river herring for food is very troubling. I support the reforms being proposed in herring "Amendment 5" but am concerned that lobbyists for the midwater trawl industry will push hard to eliminate some key monitoring and bycatch reduction measures before a full analysis is completed and the public is given the opportunity to commenl Please ensure the Council continues to demonstrate its commitment and support of meaningful reform of the Atlantic herring fishery by approving for public comment the full range of management options deveþed inAmendment 5, including: * 100 percent at-sea monitoring on all midwater trawl fishing trips (i.e., one observer per vessel to sample all catch) in order to provide reliable estimates of herring catch, and bycatch ofriver herring, shad, groundfish, seals, whales, and other non-target species. * No herring fishing in areas designated as river herring bycatch "hotspots" to protect river herring and the predators that depend on their coastal migrations. * No herring midwater tawling in areas established to protect groundfi sh populations. * No release or dumping ef uninspected/unsampled catch except under exceptional circumstances, such as mechanical failure or when safety is a concern. * Consequences to discourage the wasteful dumping of catch, including an accountability system to ensure the exceptions are not abused, including a fleetwide limit the number of dumping events, after which any dumping event would require a retum to port. Thank you for considering my comments. Reform of this fishery is needed and overdue. Sincerely, Ms. EmilyLewis Ms. EmilyLewis 19 SalemPl Amherst, MA 01002-1886
