SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: MSE is a
process that allows fishery managers
and stakeholders (e.g., industry,
scientists, and non-governmental
organizations) to assess how well

different strategies achieve specified
management objectives for a fishery.
ICCAT expects to finalize its North
Atlantic swordfish MSE in 2023 and
anticipates adopting a management
procedure in November 2023 to set the
total allowable catch for 2024 and future
years for the stock. NMFS, and the
United States Government more
broadly, engages in this MSE
development, an important part of
which involves considering stakeholder
input throughout the process through
various means, including consultation
with the Advisory Committee to the
U.S. Section to ICCAT. The United
States is also participating in the
development of the North Atlantic
swordfish MSE through the active
involvement of U.S. scientists in the
scientific work carried out by ICCAT’s
Standing Committee on Research and
Statistics (SCRS).
The June 16 meeting is intended to
update U.S. stakeholders and solicit
their input on the MSE approach being
developed by ICCAT for North Atlantic
swordfish. NMFS will provide
information on the progress of the SCRS
in developing initial candidate
management procedures (CMPs) and
testing them based on initial input on
management objectives and other
relevant matters from ICCAT’s Panel 4.
CMPs illustrate tradeoffs associated
with achieving identified management
objectives related to stock status, stock
safety, yield, and catch stability over
time. CMP testing assists ICCAT in
refining management objectives and
narrowing the number of viable CMPs
for possible adoption by the
Commission. This open session
Advisory Committee meeting is
primarily informational in nature and is
intended to increase the opportunity for
stakeholder awareness and input on the
North Atlantic swordfish MSE process.
Discussions at the meeting will help
inform U.S. scientists who are
participating in the work of the SCRS as
well as U.S. managers participating in
relevant Commission related meetings
later in 2023 addressing the North
Atlantic swordfish MSE.
