PROPOSED REVISION TO U.S. FISHERIES BILL FALLS SHORT
Legislation now pending in the U.S. Congress would reauthorize the 1976 Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. It would set a 2-year deadline for halting catches of species clearly identified as overfished, permit regional fisheries councils to consider a whole-ecosystem approach to management, and create opportunities for scientists to become more involved in fisheries decision making. The bill doesn't mandate that regional managers follow a whole ecosystem approach, nor does it require authorities to use the scientific advice they are offered. And the bill actually relaxes the existing mandate that overfished stocks be off limits and allowed to rebuild for 10 years, notes marine scientist [and Pew Fellow] Carl Safina, Director of the Blue Ocean Institute. "My guess is that most congressional members will not understand the context in which this is a setback," says Safina. "It will be spun and sold as if this is an improvement." Marine biologist Ellen Pikitch [Pew Fellow and Director of the Pew Institute for Ocean Science] is equally critical. "In my opinion, the bill does virtually nothing to advance ecosystem-based management in the U.S.," says Pikitch. "It's necessary to mandate that the science be paid attention to. [If it isn't], I don't have a lot of faith that any of these other measures are going to have any effect."
