April 27, 2001; 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Agenda: The Scallop Industry Advisory Committee will meet jointly with the Scallop Plan Development Team to develop management alternatives for Amendment 10. These alternatives will include: § Strategies for area rotation § New or revised gear restrictions § Changes to the fishing year and the framework adjustment process § Changes in permits and restrictions for limited access, history, and/or general permit categories § Measures to reduce habitat impacts and/or bycatch; transferability of effort units § Industry-funded research and observer programs § Experimental Fishing Permit procedures, and
§
Other options as needed. The Council’s goals for Amendment 10 are
to substantially revise the FMP to improve the management of the resource
and increase optimum yield, to update the analysis of cumulative impacts
of the FMP on the human environment, and to re-evaluate the Essential
Fish Habitat (EFH) components of the FMP and minimize adverse effects
on EFH. These alternatives will be submitted to the Council in July
for approval to hold public hearings and gather comments on the draft
amendment. Directions: TA Number: 01-072 Notice
