This action eliminates the backstop provision adopted in Framework Adjustment 4 to the FMP, October 2007. The provision would have adjusted and possibly closed the monkfish fishery in FY 2009 if landings exceeded the target total allowable catch by more than 30 percent. Given that both stocks are rebuilt according to most recent assessment, the backstop provision is no longer deemed necessary. |

This Action approves and implements revised biological reference points in the FMP to be consistent with the recommendations resulting from the most recent stock assessment for this fishery (Northeast Data Poor Stocks Working Group (DPWG, July 2007)), and approves and implements revised management measures to ensure that the monkfish management program succeeds in keeping landings within the target total allowable catch (TAC) levels.
