1998 Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic

Coast Tautog Fishery Management

Plan (FMP)

Public Review (June 4, 1998 to July 3,

1998)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: A draft of the 1998

Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Coast

Tautog Fisheries Management Plan

(FMP) is available for public comment

June 4, 1998 to July 3, 1998. Although

an active fishery exists in the Federal

Exclusive Economic Zone (3–200 miles

offshore), the Chesapeake Bay serves as

an important nursery and feeding

ground for young tautog. Concerns of

localized overfishing and a shift toward

increasing commercial fishing pressure

since the early 1990s have led to the

development of a federal fishery

management plan for the species under

the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries

Commission (ASMFC). Chesapeake Bay

jurisdictions will promulgate several

fishery management measures for tautog

that will begin immediate reduction in

exploitation levels, rebuild the

spawning stock and promote uniform

management between federal and state

agencies. The Bay jurisdictions will

reduce exploitation and improve

protection of the spawning stock in the

Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic by

complying with federal ASMFC

recommendations. Chesapeake Bay

fishery management plans (FMPs) are

prepared under the direction of the 1987

Chesapeake Bay Agreement and serve as

a framework for conserving and wisely

using fishery resources. The goal of the

Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Coast

Tautog Fishery Management Plan (FMP)

is to ‘‘enhance and perpetuate tautog

stocks and their habitat in the

Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries, and

throughout its Atlantic coast range, so as

to generate optimum long-term

ecological, social, and economic

benefits from their recreational and

commercial harvest and utilization over

time.’’

A draft of the Plan is available by

calling the Chesapeake Bay Program

Office at 1–800–YOUR BAY. Comments

should be returned to Mike Barnette,

Virginia Marine Resources Commission,

2600 Washington Ave., P.O. Box 756,

Newport News, VA 23607.
