Management Measures. 1. The Parties undertake to coordinate action to ensure the proper management and conservation of marine living resources, particularly the highly migratory species, in the Indian Ocean.
2. Government may at any time take such measures as it deems necessary in the circumstances in order to conserve and protect fish stocks within its EEZ, and shall communicate such measures to the COMPANY within a reasonable time.
Management Measures. 2.1. Monitoring and reporting rules
Management Measures. Oregon, Washington and the Columbia River Treaty Tribes have established a joint Xxxxxxxx Management Task Force. They will continue to meet regularly in that forum to review xxxxxxxx management issues and set harvest guidelines for the upcoming year. Information to be reviewed includes recreational, commercial and subsistence landings for each reservoir between Bonneville and XxXxxx Dam. Estimates of encounters in non-retention recreational activities will also be provided. The Xxxxxxxx Management Task Force shall determine the harvest guidelines for each reservoir annually. The effectiveness of harvest management shall be measured relative to a three-year rolling average of the guidelines. Annual harvest guidelines may be adjusted to account for cumulative overages/underages. The treaty catch may be taken in gillnet, setline, platform or hook-and-line fisheries. Oregon, Washington, and the Columbia River Treaty Tribes agree to undertake a review of xxxxxxxx management regulations. The effect of size limits, sanctuaries and other regulations on the harvest guidelines will be estimated. The Parties commit to pursuing enhancement activities, along with the necessary funding, for xxxxxxxx populations in the Zone 6 fishing area. Activities considered will include, but not be limited to, artificial propagation, transplantation from other areas and flow augmentation. The Parties agree that funding for ongoing studies to estimate present and optimum population levels, life history characteristics, recruitment, spawning potential and appropriate xxxxxxxx fishing sanctuaries is essential to successfully managing these populations.

Management Measures. Each Member's allocation of xxxxxxx and other groundfish species shall be subject to all management measures generally applicable to the Catcher/Processor Allocation and the other groundfish allocated under Section 1.b., above (including but not limited to seasonal apportionments and area harvest restrictions) on a discreet, individual basis; i.e., each Member shall be restricted to harvesting no greater percentage of such Member's allocation in any season or area than the aggregate percentage of the Catcher/Processor Allocation permitted to be harvested in such season or area. Each Member shall have the individual authority to carry over from season to season a percentage of that Member's seasonal apportionment for each species no greater than the carry-over percentage generally applicable to the Catcher/Processor Allocation.

Management Measures. The Current Management Measures for Sole documented in section 8.1 of the Co-Management Plan are revised as follows: Minimum mesh size for gillnets (stretched) for Sole and Catfish: 92mm. This revision is based on the results of the Mesh Size Gillnet Study conducted in 2013 that shows increased mesh size to be an effective measure for selecting larger fish for both Sole and Catfish, thereby tending to minimize the number of immature individuals caught, helping to prevent growth and recruitment overfishing. The increase in mesh size specified in this amendment is taken as a conservative, preventive management measure. This mesh size revision will take effect on May 1, 2014. The New Management Measures for Sole documented in section 8.2 of the Co-Management Plan are also appropriate for sustainable management of Catfish and other demersal species without revision as follows: The no take zone one nautical mile from the coastline for all fishing from May 1 through October 31 for all fish species and all gear types. The Local and Scientific Knowledge gathered to date and documented above on the spawning areas and spawning times of catfish caught by artisanal fishermen in The Gambia indicate that they spawn in near shore areas during the May – October period. With the inclusion of marine catfish as a target species for management, the concern articulated in the Sole Co-Management Plan on the need to explore the feasibility of including the mouth of the Gambia River in the seasonal closure is reinforced. This zone may be even more critical to Catfish reproduction and growth than it is for Sole and should be considered as an additional option for managing catfish. Research Priorities for Marine Catfish Collection of data needed to establish baseline stock assessment: Length frequency at landing sites Effort by gear type Data by species Recommend the following strategy Length frequency data collected in April and November for each year. Establish a study fleet for catch and effort data DOFISH collect monthly landings information from all landing sites. Biological Data: Maturity- increase sample sizes Age using dorsal spine Length weight-increase sample sizes Data on the Fishery Hook selectivity studies Proportion caught by hook versus gillnet References

Management Measures. 1. Each Member State allowing recreational fishing for Mediterranean swordfish shall make provision for a recreational fisheries quota within its national quota and shall inform the Commission thereof when transmitting its fishing plan in accordance with Article 9. Such provision shall ensure that all dead fish are deducted from the quota.
2. The Member States referred to in paragraph 1 shall, for the vessels flying their flag which are engaged in recreational fisheries for Mediterranean swordfish, ensure that these vessels are included with the information on authorised vessels referred to in Article 30(2). Vessels not included with that information shall not be authorised to fish for Mediterranean swordfish.
Management Measures. A detailed Management Plan will be agreed by the Project Group. However, the broad principles behind the above measures are outlined below. Such a Plan will take account of previous draft proposals for the in-hand land outlined in a draft Management Plan produced by Xxxxx & Xxxxxxx (2002). Not all the measures will be undertaken on the tenanted land. Heather restoration. Eleven areas of „white‟ grass-dominated moor have been identified as potential areas for heather restoration (Figure 5). A number of methods were suggested by MI (2002), including use of cattle and cutting strips in Molinia. Changes in stock management and xxxxxxx treatment as discussed in this section will also be beneficial. It is proposed to trial the „high intervention‟ heather restoration method (spraying with glyphosphate; preparing the heather seedbed, possibly involving burning and litter removal, and applying heather seed) in some areas, as recently carried out by Xxxxx Xxxx successfully in northern England. It was identified in 2003 that there were substantial and suitable areas for heather restoration by his methods. Although costly, this is favoured, and £10,000 has been earmarked for a heather restoration trial. Further work will be required to thoroughly evaluate suitable areas for restoration, and set out a programme of work and resource requirements for initial treatment and follow-up remedial work. Diversionary feeding of hen harriers. Work would be carried out in accordance with the practice described in ‘Substitute Feeding of Hen Harriers on Grouse Moors’ (Moorland Working Group 1999).
