Modification to the Boundaries of the
American Samoa Large Pelagic Vessel
Area Closure.
At its 159th Meeting, the Western
Pacific Regional Fishery Management
Council directed staff to prepare an
amendment to the Pelagics Fishery
Ecosystem Plan to modify the LVPA and
identify options to reduce, for a period
of one year, the northern boundary of
the LVPA around Tutuila, Manua, and
Rose to 25 nautical miles and to reduce
the LVPA around Swains to 12 nautical
miles, as preliminarily preferred
alternative. The purpose of this
amendment is to provide a temporary
increase in the area that can be fished
by the large vessel segment of the
American Samoa longline fleet such that
competition between longline gears is
reduced, albacore catch rates improved,
and that there are reductions in the cost
of longline trips, thus improving
economic returns from the fishery. The
need for this amendment is to promote
the efficiency of the American Samoa
longline fishery at a time when the
fishery is experiencing difficulties in
maintaining the economic viability of
the fishery.
