Amendment 4 to the Fishery Management Plan for Corals and Reef Associated Plants and Invertebrates of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands: Seagrass Management

NOAA Fisheries and the Caribbean Fishery Management Council propose Amendment 4 to address the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act requirement to establish annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures (AMs) for seagrass species in the Corals and Reef Associated Plants and Invertebrates Fishery Management Plan (Coral FMP). ACLs and AMs were not established for seagrass in the 2011 Comprehensive Annual Catch Limit Amendment.
