Acceptable Biological Catch (ABC)
specifications for 2011–2013 and to
determine status; approve the
calibration of FSV Bigelow catches to
FSV Albatross equivalents, rather than
vice versa and approve the use of a
consistent set of FSV Bigelow strata to
adjust biological reference points and
adjust the catch/biomass medians as a
basis for setting ABC.
On Wednesday, April 13, 2011, the
SSC will discuss the Council’s Whiting/
Hake Plan Development Team’s
evaluation of ABC-setting options.
Specifically it will provide guidance to

Northeast Multispecies Fishery
Management Plan.

of Ocean and Coastal Resource

Department of Commerce is announcing
a thirty-day comment period for the
revised management plans and
boundary amendments of the ACE
Basin, SC National Estuarine Research
Reserve and Old Woman Creek, OH
National Estuarine Research Reserve.
The revised management plan for the
ACE Basin, SC National Estuarine
Research Reserve outlines the
administrative structure; the education,
training, stewardship, and research
programs of the reserve; and the plans
for future land acquisition and facility
development to support reserve
operations. The objectives described in
this plan address the most critical
coastal issues in ACE Basin related to
habitat conservation, water quality,
community resilience, and public
access. Since the last approved
management plan in 1992, the reserve
has become fully staffed; added a
Coastal Training Program that delivers
science-based information to key
decisionmakers; and added significant
monitoring of emergent marsh
vegetation, water quality, and invasive
species. In addition to programmatic
and staffing advances, the reserve has
constructed an interpretive center that
houses educational exhibits, classrooms,
offices, conference space, trails and
dock with public access. A field station
with lab facilities, research dock, and
accommodations for visiting researchers
has also been constructed.
This management plan amends the
boundary to include 4,687 acres of the
Botany Bay Plantation located adjacent
to the northeastern corner of Edisto
Island in lower Charleston County, SC.
The undeveloped coastal habitats of the
plantation include maritime forest,
coastal shrub, wetlands, tidal marshes
and sand beaches. The property
provides important habitat for
numerous wildlife species, including
critical nesting habitat for the Federally
threatened loggerhead sea turtle and the
State threatened least tern. The lands
contain significant cultural resources
and list several sites on the National
Register of Historic Places. This
management plan amends the boundary
by also removing 40,089 acres of private
lands previously counted in error. In
total, the ACE Basin Reserve includes
99,308 acres designated for long term
research, education and stewardship.
