Additional monitoring may be required for any sector trip conducted by member 2 vessels or individual operators. Examples of additional monitoring include but are not 3 limited to: dockside monitoring, increased at-sea monitoring, enhanced position 4 monitoring, increased catch reporting, or other methods. The cost of additional catch 5 monitoring may be required to be paid by the sector member subject to additional 6 monitoring. 8 Additional catch monitoring processes and costs will be recommended by the Sector
Additional Measures to Prevent ACE Overages. The Board reserves the right to prohibit fishing activities by Members if it determines that those activities undermine or compromise the Sector Plan and the Sector or otherwise conflict with the standards and ethics described in the bylaws and guiding principles. The Board may direct the Sector Manager to lease or trade for additional ACE of any stocks of concern. The Board may impose additional restrictions as needed to slow down the pace of fishing. The Sector Manager may issue (and ask NMFS to enforce) a ‘Stop Fishing Order’ to (a) any member vessels that has fished more than 95% of its individual allocation for any stock until additional allocation for that stock has been acquired or the member has agreed to not fish in that stock area for the rest of the fishing year, or (b) any member vessels that are in violation of any terms of the sector operations plan or membership agreement.
Additional Measures to Prevent ACE Overages. The Sector Manager will provide Sector Members with a monthly report detailing their remaining Individual ACE for each stock and the remaining Sector ACE for each stock for the Sector. In addition, when an individual Member’s remaining Individual ACE reaches less than 50 percent for any stock, or when the Sector’s remaining Sector ACE for a stock reaches less than 50 percent, the Sector Manager will provide Members with a report detailing their remaining Individual ACE and the Sector’s remaining Sector ACE at the conclusion of each trip. In addition, Sector members will be notified when the Sector ACE reaches 80 percent of the ACE for any stock, or when, for two consecutive weekly reporting periods 20 percent or more of the remaining portion of the Sector ACE is harvested, whichever occurs first. When either trigger point is reached, sector reporting to NMFS will be changed to daily. An alternative threshold for increasing reporting frequency may be implemented during FY 2011 if agreed upon by the Sector and NMFS. Sector Members agree to adjust their fishing operations to avoid exceeding their Individual ACE and the Sector ACE. Members shall stop fishing prior to exceeding their allocation (unless they acquire additional Individual ACE). If the Sector ACE for a stock is exceeded, the sector must cease operations in that stock area until it can acquire additional ACE through a transfer with another Sector to balance the catch, and the sector also must comply with other overage penalties that may be applicable.
