Book Description
"This action would prohibit the future development of new directed commercial fisheries for a suite of unfished forage fish species within the U.S. West Coast EEZ, unless a fishery is specifically allowed after the Pacific Fishery Management Council has had an opportunity to consider a proposed directed fishery. Because this action does not change how or where existing U.S. West Coast fisheries operate, we do not expect any individually or cumulatively significant effects from this action"--Cover letter summary.
