Abstract
NMFS announces the availability of the Final Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) 5-Year Review (Final HMS EFH 5-Year Review) and intent to initiate Amendment 17 to the 2006 Consolidated HMS Fishery Management Plan (FMP) to modify HMS EFH descriptions and designations. The purpose of the Final HMS EFH 5- Year Review is to gather relevant new information and determine whether modifications to existing EFH descriptions and designations are warranted, in compliance with the requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) and implementing regulations. NMFS has determined that modifications to EFH descriptions and designations are warranted.
