Consolidation and Redistribution of ACE. Scientific recommendations and 35 new Xxxxxxxx requirements will influence the level of consolidation that will take place in the 36 groundfish fishery. The Sector members intend to utilize sector management to mitigate excessive 37 consolidation that may occur in the effort controlled system where overall management measures are 38 based upon the weakest stocks. In FY 2016, 67% of the permits enrolled in the NEFS V for FYs 2017 and 39 2018 are attached to vessels actively fishing for NE multispecies. For FYs 2017 and 2018, the NEFS V 1 sector has 30permits currently enrolled. Of those permits 20 are anticipated to actively fish for NE 2 multispecies in FYs 2017 and 2018. While these numbers may change, the NEFS V sector expects that, 3 compared to FY 2016, there would be no change from the consolidation that previously occurred among 4 the members during FY 2016. The member permits that are not attached to active NE multispecies 5 vessels in FYs 2017 and 2018 are the same permits that did not fish in FY 2016. In all cases, a member 6 who owns multiple permits fished the ACE (or DAS if in the common pool) of all those permits on fewer 7 hulls and will now continue to fish the ACE contributed by all those permits on fewer hulls, resulting in 8 no additional consolidation.
Consolidation and Redistribution of ACE. Scientific recommendations and 20 new Xxxxxxxx requirements will influence the level of consolidation that will take place in the 21 groundfish fishery. The Sector members intend to utilize sector management to mitigate excessive 22 consolidation that may occur in the effort controlled system where overall management measures are 23 based upon the weakest stocks. In FY 2014, 40% of the permits enrolled in the NEFS IX for FYs 2015 and 24 2016 are attached to vessels actively fishing for NE multispecies. For FYs 2015 and 16, the NEFS IX sector 25 has 60 permits currently enrolled. Of those permits 22 are anticipated to actively fish for NE 26 multispecies in FYs 2015 and 2016. While these numbers may change, the NEFS IX sector expects that, 27 compared to FY 2014, there would be a net consolidation beyond what previously occurred among NEFS 28 IX as the share of ACE contributed by member permits is fished by fewer active vessels than FY 2014. It 29 can be anticipated that fewer active vessels would result in job losses for fishing crews and the negative 30 impacts could spread to fishing communities and industries reliant on commercial fishing. While fishers 31 who remain in the fishery may experience a positive benefit, that there would be fewer active fishers in 32 the NE multispecies fishery.
Consolidation and Redistribution of ACE. 42 In FY 2020, 0 % of the permits enrolled in the Mooncusser sector for FYs 2021 and 43 2022 are attached to vessels actively fishing for NE multispecies. For FYs 2021 and 2022, the 44 Mooncusser sector has 40 permits currently enrolled. Of those permits 0 permits are anticipated 1 to actively fish for NE multispecies in FYs 2021 and 2022. While these numbers may change, the 2 Mooncusser sector expects that, compared to FY 2020, there would be no change from the 3 consolidation that previously occurred among the members during FY 2020. The member permits 4 that are not attached to active NE multispecies vessels in FYs 2021 and 2022 are the same permits 5 that did not fish in FY 2020. In most cases, a member who owns multiple permits fished the ACE 6 (or DAS if in the common pool) of all those permits on fewer hulls and will now continue to fish 7 the ACE contributed by all those permits on fewer hulls, resulting in no additional consolidation.
Consolidation and Redistribution of ACE. Scientific recommendations and new 7 Xxxxxxxx requirements will influence the level of consolidation that will take place in the groundfish 8 fishery. The Sector members intend to utilize sector management to mitigate excessive consolidation 9 that may occur in the effort controlled system where overall management measures are based upon the 10 weakest stocks.
Consolidation and Redistribution of ACE. As previously stated, one of the MPBP goals is to “to mitigate the effects of fishing effort consolidation on small-scale fishermen and rural fishing communities in Maine”. By distributing fishing opportunities to numerous eligible vessels, through the MPBS, the MPBP will decrease the risks and/or impacts of consolidation. A more detailed description of potential consolidation will be provided in the final version of this operations plan once the State of Maine has completed its permit bidding process and a final roster is submitted to NMFS. Since the MPBS permits will not be actively fishing, there will be no redistribution of effort to other fisheries.
Consolidation and Redistribution of ACE. NA In FY 2009, 6% of the permits which are enrolled in the NEFS IV Sector for FY 2010 are attached to vessels actively fishing for NE Multispecies. For FY 2010, the NEFS IV Sector has 48 permits currently enrolled. Of those 48 permits, 0% will actively fish for NE multispecies in FY 2010. While these numbers may change, the NEFS IV Sector expects that compared to FY 2009 there would be no change from the consolidation rate that previously occurred under the DAS Leasing Program or the consolidation rate that may take place in the common pool in FY 2010. The member permits that are not attached to active NE multispecies vessels in FY 2010 are the same permits that leased out their DAS allocations in FY 2009.
Consolidation and Redistribution of ACE. It is the intent of the Members to harvest the Sector’s ACE in accordance with the Harvesting Rules described in Exhibit D. To the extent that any consolidation or redistribution of catch or effort occurs between Members, such consolidation or redistribution will be for the duration of the Agreement or in accordance with the provisions described in Section 4.1 It is expected that the fishing activity in the groundfish fishery of the vessels listed in Exhibit B as active or inactive will not substantively change during the 2010 fishing year.
Consolidation and Redistribution of ACE. For FY 2018, the NEFS IX sector has 28 3 permits currently enrolled. Of those none of these permits are anticipated to actively fish for NE 29 Multispecies in FY 2018, unless NMFS approves a new or amended operations plan that allows fishing.
Consolidation and Redistribution of ACE. In FY 2013, 0% of the permits enrolled in 24 the NEFS IV for FY 2014 are attached to vessels actively fishing for NE multispecies. For FY 25 2014 , 50 permits are currently enrolled in NEFS IV. The member permits that are not attached 26 to active NE multispecies vessels in FY 2014 are the same permits that leased out their harvest 27 share in FY 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013; and their DAS allocations in FY 2009. NEFS IV will lease a 1 majority of its Sectors ACE to NEFS II and NEFS III, for utilization by active vessels enrolled in 2 these sectors. This leasing will have the net positive effect of minimizing the potential of 3 consolidation of active vessels enrolled in those sectors that have historically participated in the 4 multispecies fishery.
Consolidation and Redistribution of ACE. Scientific recommendations and 11 new Xxxxxxxx requirements will influence the level of consolidation that will take place in the groundfish 13 may occur in the effort controlled system where overall management measures are based upon the 14 weakest stocks. In FY 2016, 44% of the permits enrolled in the NEFS X for FYs 2017 and 2018 are attached 15 to vessels actively fishing for NE multispecies. For FYs 2017 and 2018, the NEFS X sector has 27 permits 16 currently enrolled. Of those permits 15 are anticipated to actively fish for NE multispecies in FYs 2017 and 17 2018. While these numbers may change, the NEFS X sector expects that, compared to FY 2016, there 18 would be no change from the consolidation that previously occurred among the members during FY 2016.
