material is resistant to biofouling and
leaching and the CuPod design includes
mesh entry panels that prevent fish
escapes.
The array’s CuPod and vessel would
each have a GPS navigation unit to
provide location information in the
unlikely case of separation from the
mooring. In addition to the applicant’s
monitoring of the array and surrounding
waters, the conditions of the NMFS
permit would include requirements for
avoiding and reporting protected
resources interactions, preventing fish
escapes and methods of discarding of
dead fish, filing harvest and
transshipment reports, and
accommodating an observer upon
request. These operational features,
together with the limited scale and
duration of the project, resulted in a
preliminary determination that the
project would have a very limited
impact on the environment.
NMFS expects that the array will
aggregate pelagic fish. Fishermen would
be able to fish around the array. The
small size of the array is not expected
to have a large adverse impact on
catches by other fishermen in the ocean
in west Hawaii.
Kampachi Farms must also obtain a
Department of the Army permit from the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the
proposed mooring. NMFS prepared this
draft EA with input and review by the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. When
finalized, the EA will serve as the basis
for NMFS to determine whether or not
the activity would be a major federal
action with the potential for significant
environmental impacts. If determined to
have major impacts, NMFS would need
to prepare an environmental impact
statement. The EA will also inform
NMFS in its decision about whether to
issue the special permit. The U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers will use this EA to
inform the preparation of its own
environmental evaluation in accordance
with its internal procedures.
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
