Description:
"The plan amendment would modify the greater amberjack rebuilding plan and adjust the stock annual catch limit (ACL). The stock ACL would be 1,780,000 pounds whole weight (lbs) and the annual catch target (ACT) would be 1,539,000 lbs. Based on the 27 percent and 73 percent, commercial and recreational allocation of greater amberjack, the commercial and recreational quotas to be implemented through the proposed rule would be 409,000 lbs and 1,130,000 lbs, respectively. The plan amendment also establishes a 2,000 lbs trip limit for the commercial sector throughout the fishing year. The environmental assessment analyzes the impacts of the proposed action. By itself, this amendment is not controversial because the ACL is reduced five percent"--Cover letter.
