Abstract

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Marine Fisheries Service Pacific Islands Regional Office prepared this Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) for a potential offshore aquaculture management program for U.S. Federal waters in the Pacific Islands region. The PEIS analyzes the potential direct, indirect, and cumulative effects of several aquaculture management alternatives on the human, physical, and biological environment. This analysis will help inform the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council as it considers amending its fishery ecosystem plans and implementing regulations to include aquaculture management in the region.
