I've only breezed through a few pages and spent a few minutes on the cumulative and indirect impacts section, but again, this DEIS in another completely inadequate coverage of the NEPA process by NMFS writers, this time regarding sector separation.....I would get canned out here in the private sector if I submitted even a draft EIS that was this incomplete or obviously slanted in writing.....
many sections are missing, and some sections completely ignore reality.....I don't know how else to say it.....for one, there should be no statements of "would not be expected" or "reducing the likelihood"......the NEPA process is supposed to be black and white, no grey....
some of the highlights....simple quotes...
"with respect to the physical and biological/ecological environments, the effects of this action regardless of the alternative selected as preferred would likely be minimal".....WHICH MEANS THERE IS NO BIOLOGICAL BENEFIT....THIS DOESN'T HELP THE FISH ONE BIT....
"Social benefits would be expected for the federal for-hire component if the separation of the sectors allows the for-hire fleet to stem the trend of decreasing access to red snapper" NO KIDDING SHERLOCK, AND I LIKE HOW THEY USED "SOCIAL BENEFITS" INSTEAD OF "MAKING THEM MORE MONEY" FROM REALLOCATING THE RECREATIONAL SHARE
THIS IS A GOOD ONE -- "the greater the frequency federal for-hire operators have to switch between components could possibly provide increased benefits to the operator that may correspond with unintended consequences for the rest of the component, through some amount of instability of membership" WHICH SAYS YOU CFH AND HEAD BOATS EITHER PLAY BALL WITH THE FEDS OR GET RUN OUT OF BUSINESS, AND THOSE THAT PLAY BALL WILL GET "INCREASED BENEFITS" AS OTHERS ARE RUN OUT.....
"Many of the current participants in the reef fish fishery may never recuperate losses incurred from the more restrictive management actions imposed in the short-term to end overfishing of red snapper" NO COMMENT NEEDED THERE, YOU GET THE IDEA
the full paper can be found at the link below....although I don't hold much stock in the level of compliance with the NEPA process that this DEIS shows at this stage.....some sections aren't worth the paper they're written on....
more later as I find them....
