The Law Library presents the complete text of the Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) - U.S. Atlantic Swordfish Fishery Management Measures (US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Regulation) (NOAA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 This final rule amends regulations governing the North Atlantic swordfish fishery to provide additional opportunities for U.S. vessels to more fully utilize the U.S. North Atlantic swordfish quota, in recognition of the improved stock status of the species. The U.S. North Atlantic swordfish quota is derived from the recommendations of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), and is implemented under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) and the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act (ATCA). For the past several years, the United States has not fully harvested its available North Atlantic swordfish quota. This final rule will increase swordfish retention limits for Incidental swordfish permit holders, and modify recreational swordfish retention limits for HMS Charter/Headboat (CHB) and Angling category permit holders. It will also modify HMS limited access vessel upgrading restrictions for vessels concurrently issued certain HMS permits. These actions are necessary to address persistent underharvests of the domestic North Atlantic swordfish quota, while continuing to minimize bycatch to the extent practicable, so that swordfish are harvested in a sustainable, yet economically viable manner.

This January 1998 report by the Natural Resources Defense Council examines the depletion of the swordfish population in the Atlantic off the U.S. coast, the result of years of overfishing and ineffective management. The report offers recommendations for both government and consumer action, and was released in conjunction with the launch of a campaign by NRDC and SeaWeb to restore north Atlantic swordfish.

The Law Library presents the complete text of the Atlantic Highly Migratory Species - North and South Atlantic Swordfish Quotas and Management Measures (US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Regulation) (NOAA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 This final rule implements the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (Commission) Recommendation 11-02, which maintains the U.S. North Atlantic swordfish base quota allocation, reduces the annual underharvest carryover from 50 to 25 percent of the base quota, establishes an quota transfer to Morocco for 2012 and 2013, and includes an alternative swordfish minimum size of 25-inches cleithrum to caudal keel (CK). This final rule also implements Recommendation 09-03 for South Atlantic swordfish. It also allows fishermen to remove the bill of the swordfish while still meeting the "head-naturally-attached" requirement for measuring swordfish using the lower jaw fork length minimum size, modifies and clarifies regulations regarding swordfish fishery season closures and the North Atlantic swordfish quota reserve category, and adjusts the North and South Atlantic swordfish quotas for the 2012 fishing year to account for 2011 underharvests and landings. This final rule could affect commercial and recreational fishermen who are fishing for swordfish in the Atlantic Ocean, including the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico.

This EA analyzes the potential environmental impacts of the commercial swordfish management measures in Amendment 8 to the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic HMS FMP. Amendment 8 would establish new and modified commercial fishing vessel permits that would allow participants to catch swordfish on rod and reel, handline, harpoon, green-stick, and bandit gear and sell them commercially. In recent years, the North Atlantic swordfish stock has experienced significant growth due largely to ongoing domestic and international conservation measures designed to reduce mortality, protect juvenile swordfish, monitor international trade, reduce bycatch, and improve data collection. The most recent stock assessment, conducted in 2009, indicates that the North Atlantic swordfish population is fully rebuilt and that overfishing is no longer occurring. The resulting increased availability of swordfish has increased the economic viability of selective fishing gears that have minimal bycatch and result in few discards, such as rod and reel, handline, bandit gear, green-stick, and harpoon. The purpose of this action is to provide additional opportunities for United States fishermen to harvest swordfish using selective gears that are low in bycatch, given their rebuilt status and increased availability.
