SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Purse seine vessels flagged to the
United States fish for skipjack tuna
(Katsuwonus pelamis) and other tunas
PO 00000

in the WCPO. The fishery developed in
the 1970s and early 1980s as some U.S.
tuna vessels moved west from fishing
grounds in the eastern Pacific. The
vessels participating in this fishery
currently are large: Between 175 and
260 feet in length with crews of between
19 and 40. Purse seining is fishing by
setting a vertically oriented net around
a school of fish, and then closing, or
‘‘pursing’’, the bottom of the net to
capture the fish. The vessels use purse
seine nets up to about 6,500 feet long
and 600 feet deep and in recent years
(2013–2017) vessels set their nets, on
average, once per fishing day.
NMFS manages the fishery in
accordance with U.S. laws
implementing international agreements,
including the Treaty on Fisheries
Between the Governments of Certain
Pacific Island States and the
Government of the United States of
America,1 also known as the South
Pacific Tuna Treaty (hereafter, Treaty),
and conservation and management
measures adopted by the Western and
Central Pacific Fisheries Commission
(hereafter, Commission or WCPFC). The
fishery operates in the exclusive
economic zones (EEZs) of the Pacific
Island parties to the Treaty (hereafter,
PIPs) and that of the United States, as
well as on the high seas in the WCPO.
This EIS will address all U.S. tuna purse
seine fisheries within the area of
application of the Convention on the
Conservation and Management of
Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the
Western and Central Pacific Ocean; a
map of which is available at the WCPFC
website at: www.wcpfc.int/doc/
convention-area-map.
The U.S. purse seine fleet is not the
only fishing fleet active in this region.
Other major flags of purse seine fishing
vessels in the region include: Japan,
Kiribati, Korea, Papua New Guinea, and
Taiwan. The U.S. fleet’s fishing
activities accounted for approximately
14 percent of the total purse seine
fishing effort—measured in fishing
days—in the WCPO from 2010 through
2016.2
The regulations under which the U.S.
fleet operates require changes in
response to new decisions of the
1 Parties to the Treaty include: Australia, Cook
Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Republic of
Fiji, Republic of Kiribati, Republic of Marshall
Islands, Republic of Nauru, New Zealand, Niue,
Republic of Palau, Independent State of Papua New
Guinea, Independent State of Samoa, Solomon
Islands, Kingdom of Tonga, Tuvalu, Republic of
Vanuatu and the United States of America.
