the non-trawl RCA, which is closed to 

fishing with non-trawl fixed gear to 

protect overfished groundfish stocks. A 

summary of each EFP application is 

provided below: 

• Yellowtail Rockfish Jig Fishing for 

the 2019–2020 Fishing Seasons: The San 

Francisco Community Fishing 

Association (SFCFA) and Daniel Platt 

submitted a renewal request for EFP 

activities that have been conducted 

since 2013. This EFP would authorize 

seven vessels to test the potential for a 

new commercial jig gear configured to 

target underutilized, midwater 

yellowtail and shelf rockfish species 

while avoiding overfished, bottomdwelling yelloweye and canary rockfish. 

These EFP activities would take place 

within the non-trawl RCA off the 

California coast—specifically between 

Point Conception and the Oregon/ 

California border at depths ranging from 

35 to 150 fathoms (64 to 274 meters 

(m)). 

• Commercial Midwater Hook-andLine Rockfish Fishing in the RCA off the 

Oregon Coast: Scott Cook of Coos Bay, 

Oregon submitted an EFP to authorize 

3–5 vessels to test a modified, midwater 

trolled longline gear configured to target 

underutilized, midwater yellowtail, 

widow, and canary rockfish while 

avoiding overfished, bottom-dwelling 

yelloweye rockfish. Alongside 100 

percent observer coverage, this EFP 

would also test a new electronic 

monitoring (EM) device tailored to small 

vessels that are difficult to observe with 

human observers. These EFP activities 

will take place within the non-trawl 

RCA (referred to as Fixed Gear RCA in 

the EFP application) off the Oregon 

Coast—specifically in the rocky reef 

habitat at depths ranging from 30 to 100 

fathoms (55 to 183 m). The Council 

approved this EFP application for final 

recommendation to NMFS with the 

understanding that the applicant will: 

(1) Harvest no more than 5 metric tons 

(mt) of canary rockfish as opposed to the 

requested 10 mt; (2) use artificial fishing 

lures; and, (3) limit the number of hooks 

per individual line to 40 or less with a 

maximum of 125 hooks total. The 

Council recommended the use of 

artificial fishing lures and a maximum 

hook limitation in order to minimize 

potential seabird interactions. 

• Monterey Bay Regional Exempted 

Fishing Permit—Chilipepper Rockfish: 

Real Good Fish of Moss Landing, 

California submitted an EFP to 

authorize 5–10 vessels to: (1) Test a 

trolled hook-and-line gear configured to 

target underutilized, midwater 

chilipepper rockfish and avoid 

overfished, bottom-dwelling yelloweye 

rockfish; (2) determine areas that are 

abundant with chilipepper rockfish and 

that correspond to low densities of 

overfished yelloweye rockfish; and, (3) 

to test a new EM and vessel monitoring 

system intended to provide a costeffective alternative to observer coverage 

on small vessels. These EFP activities 

will take place in the non-trawl RCA off 

the California coast—specifically in 

areas with canyon edges and walls that 

have historically produced high 

volumes of chilipepper rockfish catch 

and at depths ranging from 40 to 150 

fathoms (73 to 274 m). 

During the two-year period of EFP 

activities from 2019 to 2020, all 

applicants will adhere to EFP set-asides 

for targeted and incidental groundfish 

and other species, which were 

considered and approved by the Council 

at their June 2018 meeting. These EFP 

set-asides are off the top deductions 

from the 2019–2020 applicable annual 

catch limits (ACLs), meaning any 

landings and discards that occur under 

these EFPs would be accounted for 

within the applicable ACLs. 

NMFS does not expect any impacts to 

the environment, essential fish habitat, 

or protected or prohibited species from 

this EFP beyond those analyzed for the 

groundfish fishery as a whole in 

applicable biological opinions 1 2 or the 

draft Environmental Assessment for the 

Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery 2019– 

2020 Harvest Specifications and 

Management Measures.3 During Council 

deliberations, Council members 

expressed concern regarding seabird 

and canary rockfish impacts from the 

Scott Cook EFP, and salmon bycatch 

impacts from all three EFPs. To address 

seabird concerns, the Council requested 

modifications to the Scott Cook EFP, 

which included requiring participating 

vessels to use artificial fishing lures (as 

opposed to live bait) and limiting hooks 

to a maximum of 40 hooks per line with 

a maximum of 125 hooks total. NMFS 

will require additional mitigation 

measures if necessary to ensure that all 

potential seabird impacts fall within the 

scope of the 2017 United States Fish 

and Wildlife Biological Opinion 2 for 

Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery 

impacts on seabirds. To address canary 

rockfish concerns, the Council 

requested a reduction in the Scott Cook 

EFP set-aside from 10 mt to 5 mt in 

order to take a precautionary approach 

in providing opportunities to target 

canary rockfish. To address the 

possibility of salmon bycatch, the 

Council requested that NMFS consider 

precautionary limits for bycatch of 

endangered salmon that may occur 

during EFP fishing activities. NMFS 

requested that the applicants estimate 

their expected bycatch of Chinook and 

coho salmon, and will present this 

information at the September 2018 

Council meeting. NMFS will request 

that the Council provide additional 

input on the proposed salmon bycatch 

limits or additional considerations for 

approving these EFPs based on the 

expected salmon encounter rates and 

any public comments received during 

the comment period for the EFPs. The 

salmon bycatch limits that the Council 

approves would be counted against the 

non-whiting salmon bycatch guidelines 

for Chinook (5,500) and coho (560) 

salmon bycatch in NMFS’s 2017 

Biological Opinion. The terms and 

conditions of the EFP would state that 

EFP fishing will cease if vessels reach 

the expected salmon bycatch levels 

specified in the EFP.
