goals. The Northeast Regional Climate Action Plan focuses on present climate variability and future climate change in this large marine ecosystem. “This plan builds on the work already
underway in the region to address climate change,” said Jon Hare, of NOAA’s North- east Fisheries Science Center and lead au- thor of the plan. “For instance, we’ve been leaders in long-term monitoring needed to explain change, linking stock assessment and climate models, and working toward an ecosystem-based understanding of sub-regions like Georges Bank. We are also providing biannual and annual state-of-the- ecosystem reports to federal fi shery man- agers to support their eff orts to implement fi shery management in a more holistic way, accounting for ecosystem factors as well as the biology of the fi sh.” The core elements of the Northeast

Regional Action Plan include developing new multispecies models that incorporate environmental terms such as temperature and ocean acidifi cation, conducting work to better understand how climate change is forcing change in species distribution and habitat use, initiating a Northeast Climate Science Strategy Steering Group, coopera- tive research with the fi shing industry, and integrating social science into ecosystem assessments in order to better account for human dimensions. Designed to increase the production,
delivery, and use of climate-related infor- mation, the plan will guide eff orts to provide timely information to managers to reduce impacts and increase resilience of fi sheries, protected species and coastal communities. If you have questions about the plan,

ASMFC Releases Atlantic Menhaden Draft Addendum I for Public Comment States Schedule Hearings for late June/ early July
The states of Rhode Island through
Delaware have scheduled their hearings to gather public comment on Draft Addendum I to Amendment 2 the Interstate Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for Atlantic Men- haden. The details of those hearings follow.
Rhode Island Division of Fish & Wildlife
University of Rhode Island Bay Campus Corliss Auditorium South Ferry Road
Narragansett, Rhode Island
Contact: Jason McNamee at 401.423.1943 The Draft Addendum proposes modi-
fying the FMP’s bycatch allowance provi- sion. Specifi cally, it considers allowing two licensed individuals to harvest up to 12,000 pounds of menhaden bycatch when working from the same vessel fi shing stationary, multi-species gear - limited to one vessel trip per day. Bycatch represents less than 2% of the total coastwide landings. The practice of two permitted fi shermen
working together from the same vessel to harvest Atlantic menhaden primarily occurs in the Chesapeake Bay pound net fi shery. This practice enables the fi shermen to pool resources for fuel and crew. However, the practice is currently constrained by the FMP’s bycatch allowance provision, which includes a 6,000 pound/vessel/day limit. The Draft Addendum seeks comment on whether the provision should be revised to accommodate the interests of fi xed-gear fi shermen who work together, as authorized by the states and jurisdictions in which they fi sh.
The intent of Draft Addendum I is to add
fl exibility to one element of the bycatch al- lowance provision while the Board prepares to address menhaden management more comprehensively through the development of Draft Amendment 3 to the FMP over the next two years. A subsequent press release on the public hearing schedule and Draft Addendum I availability will be distributed once state hearings have been scheduled. Fishermen and other interested groups
are encouraged to provide input on the Draft Addendum either by attending state public hearings or providing written comment. The Draft Addendum can be obtained at http://
www.asmfc.org/uploads/fi le/573dd50fAt- lMenhadenDraftAddendumI_PublicCom- ment_May2016.pdf or via the Commis- sion’s website,
www.asmfc.org, under Pub- lic Input. Public comment will be accepted until 5:00 PM (EST) on July 11, 2016 and should be forwarded to Megan Ware, FMP Coordinator, 1050 N. Highland St, Suite A-N, Arlington, VA 2220 1; 703.842.0741 (FAX) or at
mware@asmfc.org (Subject line: Draft Addendum I).
