SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Magnuson–Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act, 16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq., as amended by the
Sustainable Fisheries Act, Public Law
104–297, provided for the establishment
of an AP to assist in the collection and
evaluation of information relevant to the
development of any Fishery
Management Plan (FMP) for HMS.
NMFS consults with and considers the
comments and views of AP members
when preparing and implementing
FMPs or FMP amendments for Atlantic
tunas, swordfish, billfish, and sharks.
The AP has previously consulted with
NMFS on: Amendment 1 to the Billfish
FMP (April 1999), the HMS FMP (April
1999), Amendment 1 to the HMS FMP
(December 2003), the Consolidated HMS
FMP (October 2006), and Amendments
1 and 2 to the Consolidated HMS FMP
(April and October 2008). The February
2009 AP meeting will focus on
conservation and management options
for Atlantic tunas and sharks. NMFS is
considering an amendment to the 2006
Consolidated HMS FMP for small
coastal sharks to rebuild blacknose
sharks which are overfished with
overfishing occurring, and will consider
management options for Atlantic bluefin
tuna based on any potential
management recommendations resulting
from the 2008 International Commission
for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas
(ICCAT) meeting.
This meeting is physically accessible
to people with disabilities. Requests for
sign language interpretation or other
