annually to fish in the Japanese EEZ, and China will allow 317 Japanese
fishing vessels annually to fish in the Chinese EEZ. Implementation of the
agreement was delayed over differences in drawing the zoning line and over
conditions of operations in areas under joint control.} [Yomiuri Shimbun]
Lobster Games? In late February 2000, protests by the Japan Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals forced several game arcades to remove
"Submarine Catcher" arcade games, wherein a "maneuver-the-crane-and- catch"
mechanism allows players to capture live lobsters and other sea creatures.
This game was introduced into the Japanese arcade market earlier in February
2000, with 100 game machines sold immediately and orders placed for an
additional 200 machines. [Yomiuri Shimbun]
Shrimp and TEDs. In late February 2000, marine extension agents with the TX
Marine Advisory Service announced that they have developed a solution to a
design flaw in turtle excluder devices (TEDs) used in shrimp trawls. By
replacing traditional nylon netting with stronger high-density polyethylene
netting, stretching is minimized, keeping the shrimp trawl grill in proper
alignment and reducing shrimp loss. [TX Sea Grant press release]

Native Fishery. On Feb. 13, 2000, Canadian Fisheries Minister Herb Dhaliwal
reported that a framework for accommodating aboriginal fishermen in Maritime
Canada will be implemented by late April 2000 when some lobster fisheries
open, although all communities and bands may not have concluded interim
fishing agreements. The framework reportedly will increase aboriginal
participation as well as regulate the fishery with clear conservation
measures. On Feb. 13, 2000, enforcement officers with the Dept. of
Fisheries and Oceans seized 2 Native crab vessels from the Indian Brook
reserve fishing off eastern Nova Scotia allegedly in closed waters. The
vessels were escorted to Dartmouth, NS, where the crab catch was unloaded.
Indian Brook officials claimed to have an exploratory license for snow crab,
but federal officials said this license was for a different area. On Feb.
15, 2000, Native leaders stated that aboriginal fishermen will begin fishing
for lobster and other species after the ice goes out in April, whether or
not they have an agreement with the federal government. {On Mar. 1, 2000,
Dept. of Fisheries and Oceans officials announced that the Canadian federal
government would spend C$160 million over the next 2 years to increase
Native participation in commercial fishing industry. Of this amount, about
C$29 million would be spent before Mar. 31, 2000, for buying back commercial
licenses for transfer to Native fishermen and for aboriginal training.}
[Canadian Press, National Post, Halifax Herald]
Sport Halibut Restrictions. On Feb. 12, 2000, the North Pacific Fishery
Management Council voted to recommend that a limit be placed on the amount
of halibut that charterboats can harvest. The limit would be 125% of the
average catch between 1995 and 1999. Charter boat participation will be
based on 1998 and 1999 charter logbooks, but the accuracy of these logbooks
as a record of charter boat catch is a concern. In addition, the Council
initiated fast-track analysis on creating an individual fishing quota (IFQ)
program for the 1,100-vessel charter fleet. [MSNBC, Anchorage Daily News]
Mud Dump. On Feb. 12, 2000, more than 600 fishermen, environmentalists, and

SC Non-Compliance. On Feb. 9, 2000, the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries
Commission's (ASMFC's) Interstate Fisheries Management Program Policy Board
determined that SC was out-of-compliance with Amendment 1 of the ASMFC's
Interstate Fishery Management Plan for Shad and River Herring, because SC
lacks a sport creel limit for these species. The full ASMFC will consider
final action on the recommendation that SC be found out-of- compliance at
its early April 2000 meeting in Alexandria, VA. If SC remains
out-of-compliance, the U.S. Secretary of Commerce can place a moratorium on
SC shad and river herring fisheries. [ASMFC press release]
Sharks. On Feb. 8, 2000, the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission's
(ASMFC's) Spiny Dogfish and Coastal Shark Management Board approved a
non-binding recommendation that states adopt regulatory measures for spiny
dogfish and coastal sharks that are consistent to and complementary with
current federal regulations, to protect inshore nursing and pupping areas
and better monitor the fishery in state waters. On Feb. 10, 2000, Secretary
of Commerce William Daley notified the Mid-Atlantic and New England Fishery
Management Councils that he had asked NMFS to delay the effective date of
the final rule for the Spiny Dogfish Fishery Management Plan from Feb. 10,
2000, to Mar. 15, 2000, to encourage the Mid-Atlantic and New England
Councils to come to an agreement on differing opinions about how to manage
this fishery. {{On Feb. 15, 2000, NMFS published notice of the delayed
effectiveness of the final rule for spiny dogfish.}} On Feb. 15, 2000,
representatives of 5 conservation groups sent a joint letter to Clinton
Administration officials, requesting the administration address shark
management concerns, such as the alleged shortsighted delay in implementing
dogfish management measures. {{On Feb. 29, 2000, the HI state House
Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs Committee approved H.B. 1947, a bill that
would require fishermen to land entire blue shark carcasses if finning was
contemplated. On Mar. 1, 2000, the Western Pacific Fishery Management
Council voted 7-2 to recommend that NMFS limit the annual blue shark harvest
in Exclusive Economic Zone waters around Pacific islands under U.S.
jurisdiction to 50,000 animals as well as a limit of 1 fish per trip for
other shark species.}} [ASMFC press release, personal communication, Center

Long Island Sound Lobsters. In early February 2000, Univ. of CT scientists
reported that a comprehensive investigation of the lobster mortality event
might cost $2 million to $3 million over 3 to 5 years. On Feb. 9, 2000, CT
Governor John Rowland requested $20 million in federal assistance for CT
lobstermen and asked the CT Dept. of Transportation to help the lobstermen
find free or inexpensive storage place for their pots. In addition, a group
of Northeast senators were reported to have urged the Senate Appropriations
Committee to include this funding in an anticipated emergency disaster
relief bill. {In late February 2000, the CT congressional delegation was
reported to have asked the Administration for $40 million to $50 million to
provide assistance to lobstermen and fund research. On Feb. 28, 2000, the
Administration was reported to be asking Congress for $10 million in
assistance for this fishery - $6.6 million for research into causes of the
recent die-off and $3.4 million for economic development initiatives for the

Committee reported a bill (LD 2451) to the full Legislature, proposing to
ban trawlers and draggers from Taunton Bay, the northernmost horseshoe crab
nursery area in the United States. On Feb. 9, 2000, the ASMFC's Horseshoe
Crab Management Board approved Addendum I to the Interstate Fishery
Management Plan for Horseshoe Crab, implementing a state-by-state harvesting
cap that is 25% below the 1995-1997 harvest level. In addition, the Board
recommended additional harvest control measures to increase protection for
the Delaware Bay horseshoe crab population and recommended that NMFS
establish an offshore horseshoe crab sanctuary within a 30-mile radius of
the Delaware Bay mouth. State proposals to implement the new requirements
are to be reviewed by the Management Board in April 2000, for implementation
by May 1, 2000. NJ pledged $50,000 for data collection on the fishery,
challenging DE, MD, and VA to make a similar contribution that together
