exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the

USVI. A ‘‘no-take’’ MCD is an MCD in

which fishing is prohibited. The

proposed options are the following.

Option A: Establish a no-take MCD in

the EEZ, in the area known as the ‘‘Hind

the EEZ, including the area known as

the ‘‘Hind Bank’’ southwest of St.

Thomas, USVI, but with a modified

northern boundary that extends one

nautical mile north of the present

demarcation line of the Hind Bank. This

option would establish a no-take MCD

within the coordinates specified below:
