SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Jkt 229001
The Billfish Conservation Act of 2012
(BCA), Public Law 112–183, 16 U.S.C.
1827a, was signed into law on October
5, 2012. The BCA defines ‘‘billfish’’ as
any of the following: (1) Blue marlin; (2)
striped marlin; (3) black marlin; (4)
sailfish; (5) shortbill spearfish; (6) white
marlin; (7) roundscale spearfish; (8)
Mediterranean spearfish; or (9) longbill
spearfish. It exempts swordfish from the
definition of billfish.
Section 4(a) of the BCA prohibits any
person from offering billfish or billfish
products for sale, selling them, or
having custody, control, or possession
of them for purposes of offering them for
sale. It treats a violation of the BCA as
an act prohibited by section 307 of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(MSA; 16 U.S.C. 1857). Individuals,
including recreational fishermen may
possess, but not sell billfish or billfish
products or have custody, control, or
possession for the purposes of offering
them for sale, subject to limits imposed
by existing state and federal regulations.
Section 4(c) of the BCA exempts
billfish caught by U.S. fishing vessels
and landed in Hawaii or Pacific Insular
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702

Areas (as defined under the MSA) from
the general prohibitions on sale and
custody with the intent to sell in section
4(a). It also exempts billfish landed by
foreign vessels in the Pacific Insular
Areas and exported to markets outside
the U.S. or retained within Hawaii and
the Pacific Insular Areas for local
consumption.
In passing the BCA, Congress
recognized the conservation challenges
facing billfish populations in the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Congress
found that, despite careful management
of domestic billfish fisheries, global
billfish populations have declined
significantly because of overfishing
primarily through retention of bycatch
by non-U.S. fishing fleets. See 16 U.S.C.
1827a note. In 2011, the International
Union for the Conservation of Nature
classified blue and white marlin as
vulnerable to extinction and striped
marlin as near threatened. The over
harvest and export of billfish from
foreign nations threatens the survival of
billfish populations and the
sustainability of the U.S. recreational
billfish fishery. A report on trade of
billfish published by the International
Game Fish Association (IGFA) in June,
2007 found that the legal sale of billfish
caught in the Pacific Ocean may create
a market that allows billfish caught in
the Atlantic Ocean to enter
illegitimately into U.S. markets.
Existing federal regulations require
the release of all Atlantic billfish caught
by commercial fishing operations in the
U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ),
prohibit the possession of billfish
onboard commercial fishing vessels
inside the U.S. EEZ, and prohibit the
sale of Atlantic billfish. 50 CFR
635.21(a) and (e)(2), 635.31(b). The BCA
increases the protection for Atlantic
billfish by prohibiting the import and
sale of all billfish in the U.S., no matter
where harvested, unless exempted
pursuant to section 4(c) of the BCA.
The only U.S. commercial fishery for
billfish occurs in Hawaii and
surrounding Pacific island areas.
Section 4(c)(1) of the BCA exempts
billfish caught by U.S. vessels and
landed in Hawaii or Pacific Insular
Areas from the general prohibition on
sale of billfish. Under existing
regulations, seafood dealers and
processors are required to use the
Billfish Certificate of Eligibility (COE) to
document that billfish possessed or
offered for sale were not harvested from
the Atlantic Ocean. See 50 CFR
635.31(b). NMFS is considering
adapting the billfish COE requirements
to implement the BCA by requiring that
seafood dealers and processors
document that billfish offered for sale
