Final Atlantic Highly Migratory Species 

(HMS) Management-Based Research 

Needs and Priorities Document 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: NMFS announces the 

availability of the Final Atlantic HMS 

Management-Based Research Needs and 

Priorities document. The purpose of this 

document is to communicate key 

research needs that directly support 

Atlantic HMS management. Atlantic 

HMS are defined as bluefin, bigeye, 

albacore, yellowfin, and skipjack tunas, 

swordfish, billfish (blue marlin, white 

marlin, roundscale spearfish, longbill 

spearfish, and sailfish), and sharks. 

ADDRESSES: Electronic copies of the 

Final Atlantic HMS Management-Based 

Research Needs and Priorities document 

may also be obtained on the Internet at:

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Steve Durkee by phone at (202) 670– 

6637. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Atlantic HMS Management-Based 

Research Needs and Priorities document 

was developed by the Highly Migratory 

Species (HMS) Management Division of 

NMFS to communicate key research 

needs that directly support Atlantic 

HMS management. Atlantic HMS are 

defined as bluefin, bigeye, albacore, 

yellowfin, and skipjack tunas, 

swordfish, billfish (blue marlin, white 

marlin, roundscale spearfish, longbill 

spearfish, and sailfish), and sharks. The 

document contains a list of near and 

long-term research needs and priorities 

that can be used by individuals and 

groups interested in Atlantic HMS to 

identify key research needs, improve 

management, reduce duplication, 

prioritize limited funding, and form a 

potential basis for future funding. The 

priorities range from biological/

ecological needs to socio-economic 

needs. 

A draft version of this document was 

made available to the public on July 10, 

2014 (79 FR 39367), and comments were 

requested on the content and 

usefulness. The draft version was also 

discussed at the September 2014 HMS 

Advisory Panel meeting. A few 

comments were received suggesting 

additional research needs and reprioritization, many of which were 

incorporated. However, the final version 

remains largely unchanged from the 

draft. Many commenters felt the 

document was useful, including when 

applying for competitive research 

grants. 

The document is one of several efforts 

to highlight key research needs for 

HMS. One early effort, the HMS 

Research Plan, was developed by NMFS 

scientists across HMS disciplines in 

response to identify specific research 

needs based upon known data gaps. 

This document complements the HMS 

Research Plan currently in draft and, 

although of different purpose, some 

aspects of the HMS Research Plan were 

included in this document. Other efforts 

are also underway in the Agency to 

identify key research needs relevant to 

Atlantic HMS management, such as the 

National Recreational Action Agenda 

and Regional Plans and the National 

Bycatch Reduction Engineering 

Program. 

At this time, specific funding for the 

priorities outlined in this document has 

not been identified. However, the 

Agency is currently undergoing a 

strategic review of both management 

and science planning processes and 

resource allocations. This document 

will inform the strategic review of 

management planning and resource 

allocations. Additionally, there are 

several Requests for Proposals (RFPs) 

that support different types of 

competitively awarded funds for 

research. Some of these RFPs include 

funds for the Bycatch Reduction 

Engineering Program, Cooperative 

Research Program, and SaltonstallKennedy Grant Program. More 

information on these RFPs is available 

on the NOAA Fisheries Web site 

(www.nmfs.noaa.gov). This priorities 

document may be used by interested 

scientists who are applying for these or 

other funds as a way to highlight the 

need for the research. 

While some of the priorities were 

derived from stock assessment reviews, 

other priorities were identified while 

developing and proposing management 

measures. Many of the research 

priorities address key data gaps and/or 

ways to reduce fishing mortality and/or 

bycatch to more effectively manage 

HMS fisheries, either directly or by 

improving stock assessments. Because 

these needs were identified by fishery 

managers, these research priorities may 

not correspond directly with the 

research priorities and needs identified 

by the scientists throughout NMFS. 

Ongoing survey and monitoring 

programs are not discussed unless there 

is a specific suggestion for expansion of 

an existing program. These survey and 

monitoring programs, which include but 

are not limited to shark nursery and 

essential fish habitat studies, fisheryindependent surveys, and observer 

programs, are vital to stock assessments 

and effective HMS management. These 

ongoing survey and monitoring 

programs should be considered high 

priority.
