American Lobster; Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement

NMFS announces its intent to prepare an EIS to assess the impact on the natural and human environment of possible measures to manage fishing for American lobster in the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). This NOI requests public input in the form of written comments on issues that NMFS should consider in preparing the EIS. Specifically, the EIS will examine alternatives available to NMFS in addressing the overfishing of American lobsters in the EEZ as well as state waters, including specific recommendations to the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) in its proposed Amendment 3 to the Interstate Fishery Management Plan for Lobster. Public hearings for the EIS will be scheduled at a later date.
