Proposed Acceptable Biological Catch and Optimum Yield Specifications and Management Measures for the 2009-2010 Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery
DRAFT Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS)
Published August 2008
This DEIS is prepared pursuant to NEPA to assess the environmental impacts associated with
NOAA proceeding with specification of acceptable biological catch and optimum yield values for
species and species' complexes in the Pacific Coast groundfish fishery management unit and
establishment of management measures to constrain total fishing mortality to these specifications.
These harvest specifications and management measures will be established for calendar years
2009 and 2010. Federally-managed Pacific groundfish fisheries occurring off the coasts of
Washington, Oregon, and California establish the geographic context for the proposed action.
Additional copies of the DEIS may be obtained from the Responsible Program Official identified below.
