  <title><![CDATA[  Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Greenland  Turbot in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2008-07-14-E8-15987</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ NMFS apportions amounts of the non-specified reserve of 
groundfish to the Greenland turbot initial total allowable catch (ITAC) 
in the Bering Sea subarea of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands 
management area (BSAI). This action is necessary to allow the fishery 
to continue operating. It is intended to promote the goals and 
objectives of the fishery management plan for the BSAI.

  <title><![CDATA[  Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Northeast  Multispecies Fishery; Allowance of New Gear (Haddock Rope]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2008-07-14-E8-15950</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ NMFS approves the use of an additional type of trawl gear 
known as the ``haddock rope trawl'' (formerly called the ``eliminator 
trawl'') in the Regular B DaysatSea (DAS) Program and the Eastern 
U.S./Canada Haddock Special Access Program (SAP). Vessels fishing in 
the Regular B DAS Program or the Eastern U.S./Canada Haddock SAP must 
use approved trawl gear in order to reduce the catch of Northeast (NE) 
multispecies (groundfish) stocks of concern. The NE Regional 
Administrator, NMFS, may approve additional gears for use in these 
programs if research demonstrates that the gear meets specific 
standards for the reduction of catch of stocks of concern. The intent 
of this action is to reduce catch of stocks of concern in the NE 
multispecies fishery and to provide for the conservation and management 
of stocks managed by the NE Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (FMP).

  <title><![CDATA[  Draft of the Education Strategic Plan for NOAA: Engaging  Educators, Students and the Public To Meet NOAA's Mission]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2008-07-14-E8-16039</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is 
revising its Education Strategic Plan (Plan). NOAA recently received 
broad legislative authority from Congress through the America COMPETES 
Act to develop, support, promote, and coordinate education activities 
to enhance public awareness and understanding of the ocean, coastal, 
Great Lakes, and atmospheric science. The draft Plan establishes goals 
for NOAA education for the next twenty years as specified by the 
America COMPETES Act. NOAA encourages all stakeholders and users to 
review the Plan and provide comments.

(NOI) to initiate an amendment to the 2006 Consolidated Highly 
Migratory Species (HMS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP), including 
preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement. NMFS now announces

measures for inclusion in the proposed Amendment 4 to the Consolidated 
HMS FMP and provides details for five scoping meetings to discuss and 
collect comments on the issues described in the issues and options 
document. Comments received by NMFS on the NOI and issues and options 
document as well as in the scoping meetings will be used in the 
development of Amendment 4 to the Consolidated HMS FMP.
