An MCP must be consistent with the 

Council’s fishery ecosystem plans, must 

identify conservation and management 

objectives (including criteria for 

determining when such objectives are 

met), and must prioritize planned 

marine conservation projects. 

The Council reviewed and concurred 

with the American Samoa MCP in June 

2018. On July 9, 2018, the Governor of 

American Samoa submitted the MCP to 

NMFS for review and approval. The 

following briefly describes the 

objectives of the MCP. Please refer to the 

MCP for planned projects and activities 

designed to meet each objective, the 

evaluative criteria, and priority ranking. 

The MCP contains six conservation and 

management objectives, listed below. 

1. Maximize social and economic 

benefits through sustainable fisheries; 

2. Support quality scientific research 

to assess and manage fisheries; 

3. Promote an ecosystem approach in 

fisheries management; 

4. Recognize the importance of island 

culture and traditional fishing in 

managing fishery resources and foster 

opportunities for participation; 

5. Promote education and outreach 

activities and regional collaboration 

regarding fisheries conservation; 

6. Encourage development of 

technologies and methods to achieve the 

most effective level of enforcement and 

to ensure safety at sea. 

This notice announces that NMFS has 

reviewed the MCP, and has determined 

that it satisfies the requirements of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Act. Accordingly, 

NMFS has approved the MCP for the 3- 

year period from July 25, 2018, through 

July 24, 2021. This MCP supersedes the 

MCP previously approved for the period 

April 1, 2015, through March 31, 2018 

(80 FR 18820, April 8, 2015). 

Dated: August 17, 2018.
