2012 Minutes As Submitted FLOUNDER TECHNICAL TASK FORCE MEETING MINUTES New Orleans, Louisiana February 22 & 23, 2012 Introductions VanderKooy opened the meeting and asked each participant to introduce themselves. The task force is made up of a scientific representative from each Gulf State, a recreational fishery representative, a commercial fishery representative, an economist, a habitat representative, and a law enforcement representative. The following were in attendance: Michelle Sempsrott, FWC, Panama City, Florida Karon Aplin, AMRD, Gulf Shores, Alabama Wes Devers, MDMR, Biloxi, Mississippi Jason Adriance, LDWF, New Orleans, Louisiana Mike Stahl, TPWD, Dickinson, Texas Chuck Adams, Sea Grant, Gainesville, Florida Scott Bannon, ADCNR/MRD, Dauphin Island, Alabama Steve VanderKooy, GSMFC, Ocean Springs, Mississippi Debbie Mcintyre, GSMFC, Ocean Springs, Mississippi VanderKooy asked the group to carefully review the membership roster and check individual contact information. Adoption of Agenda The agenda was reviewed and approved. GSMFC Travel Policy VanderKooy provided the group with a brief overview of GSMFC travel policies. The authorization and reimbursement procedures were explained and the group was referred to the GSMFC Travel Guidelines for detailed information. Any questions regarding travel should be addressed to Alyce Catchot, the Commission's travel coordinator. Interjurisdictional Program Overview and FMP Process S. VanderKooy, Program Coordinator, presented an overview of the Interjurisdictional Fisheries (IJF) Program and Commission development process for FMPs. The IJF Program is authorized through the Interjurisdictional Fisheries Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-659, Title III). The purpose of the Act was to promote and encourage state activities in support of management of IJF resources identified in interstate FMPs. The Act also promotes and encourages management of IJF resources throughout their range. Funding under the Act supports states' long-term monitoring and assessment programs and other research. The Act also provides funding for the three interstate marine commissions (Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific) to develop and revise management plans used by the states to enact appropriate management strategies to maintain harvestable stocks of commercial and recreational fish. The Commission patterns its plans to those of the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (GMFMC) to ensure compatibility in format and approach between regional and federal FMPs. Since the passage of the IJF Act in 1986, the Commission has produced nine FMPs, three revisions, and one amendment. Critical components of FMPs are determined by ten national standards: 1. Conservation and management measures shall prevent overfishing while achieving, on a continuing basis, the optimum yield from each fishery for the U.S. fishing industry; 2. Conservation and management measures shall be based on the best scientific information available; 3. To the extent practicable, an individual stock shall be managed as a unit throughout its range, and interrelated stocks of fish shall be managed as a unit or in close coordination; 4. Conservation and management measures shall not discriminate between residents of different states. If it becomes necessary to allocate or assign fishing privileges among various U.S. fishermen, such allocations shall be: a. fair and equitable to all such fishermen; b. reasonably calculated to promote conservation; and c. carried out in such a manner that no particular individual, corporation, or other entity acquires an excessive share of such privileges. 5. Conservation and management measures shall, where practicable, consider efficiency in the utilization of the resources; except that no such measure shall have economic allocation as its sole purpose. 6. Conservation and management measures shall take into account and allow for variations among, and contingencies in, fisheries, fisheries resources, and catches. 7. Conservation and management measures shall, where practicable, minimize costs and avoid unnecessary duplication. 8. Conservation and management measures shall, where consistent with the conservation requirements of this Act (including the prevention of overfishing and rebuilding of overfished stocks), take into account the importance of fishery resources to fishing communities in order to: a. provide for the sustained participation of such communities, and b. to the extent practicable, minimize adverse economic impacts on such communities. 9. Conservation and management measures shall, to the extent practicable, minimize bycatch and to the extent bycatch cannot be avoided, minimize the mortality of such bycatch. 10. Conservation and management measures shall, to the extent practicable, promote the safety of human life at sea. In order to alleviate confusion with the federal definition of essential fish habitat and its associated requirements, FMPs developed under the Commission program utilize the term "essential habitat." The development of FMPs begins with species prioritization. The State-Federal Fisheries Management Committee (S-FFMC) accomplishes this task and establishes a technical task force to review all technical material, draft a document incorporating current biological, sociological, economic, and fishery information. The TTF shall also provide management scenarios based on this information. The TTF is composed of a core group of scientists from each Gulf state and is appointed by the respective state directors that serve on the S-FFMC. Also, a TTF member from each of the following GSMFC committees or subcommittees (Law Enforcement, Habitat, Commercial Fisheries Advisory, and Recreational Fisheries Advisory) is appointed by the respective committee. In addition, the TTF may include other experts in economics, socio-anthropology, population dynamics, and other specialty areas when needed. The TTF is responsible for development of the FMP and receives input in the form of data and other information from the DMS and the SAT. Once the TTF completes the plan, it may be approved or modified by the Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC) before being sent to the S-FFMC for review. The S-FFMC may also approve or modify the plan before releasing it for public review and comment. After public review and final approval by the S-FFMC, the plan is submitted to the GSMFC where it may be accepted or rejected. If rejected, the plan is returned to the S-FFMC for further review. Once approved by the GSMFC, plans are submitted to the Gulf States for their consideration for adoption and implementation of management recommendations. The review process is outlined below: DMS t TTF ~ TCC ~ S-FFMC ~ GSMFC t t SAT Outside Review DMS = Data Management Subcommittee S-FFMC =State-Federal Fisheries Management Committee SAT= Stock Assessment Team GSMFC =Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission TTF = Technical Task Force Outside Review = standing committees, trade associations, TCC =Technical Coordinating Committee general public FMP Table of Contents/Assignments VanderKooy explained how most of this revision would simply be a rewrite, updating the individual sections with current references. It is hoped that there is better identification information in the fisheries data for the two species than there was in the first version. VanderKooy distributed the previous Table of Contents and reminded everyone that it should be used as a guide but each representative was welcomed to change their sections as appropriate. The revised copy with assignments is appended to the minutes as Attachment 1. The importance of deadlines was explained as well as the importance of responding to the emails. Face-to-face meetings are necessary so that everyone is held accountable for their contributions to the document. It was discussed that there will probably be a total of three to four meetings per year while this revision is taking place, but there may also be webinars as needed for the purpose of touching base with each other while keeping expenses down. The time frame for completion of this revision will be 12-14 months. Each state representative will be responsible for his fisheries data. One person will be responsible for the Fisheries section but all will contribute their individual state data. There will be some overlapping of landings and values by state. We will do our best to make these consistent. Task Force Website VanderKooy introduced the working website for use by the TTF to share literature, upload current drafts, and provide reviews of other sections when appropriate. VanderKooy walked the representatives through the website to show them how to use it. VanderKooy asked that anyone who downloads a section to review, SEND the electronic copy back to the original author with track changes rather than reposting the edited section. Uploading the revisions will replace the version on the website and it is up to the individual authors to evaluate the suggestions from ALL the reviewers and make those that are appropriate. There is an electronic library available there. There is a bibliography search on the GSMFC website which provides a vast amount of information - all things fishery related. VanderKooy gave the group instructions on how to use this database. Everyone was advised that if any explanation of how to use the website/database is needed to please contact VanderKooy. A PDF or hard copy can also be made available upon request. The group was instructed that, when writing their sections, they should not cite things on someone else's citing but should cite

    Cover: During World War I, convoys carried almost two million men to Europe. In this 1920 oil painting “A Fast Convoy” by Burnell Poole, the destroyer USS Allen (DD-66) is shown escorting USS Leviathan (SP-1326). Throughout the course of the war, Leviathan transported more than 98,000 troops. Naval History and Heritage Command 1 United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922 Frank A. Blazich Jr., PhD Naval History and Heritage Command Introduction This document is intended to provide readers with a chronological progression of the activities of the United States Navy and its involvement with World War I as an outside observer, active participant, and victor engaged in the war’s lingering effects in the postwar period. The document is not a comprehensive timeline of every action, policy decision, or ship movement. What is provided is a glimpse into how the 20th century’s first global conflict influenced the Navy and its evolution throughout the conflict and the immediate aftermath. The source base is predominately composed of the published records of the Navy and the primary materials gathered under the supervision of Captain Dudley Knox in the Historical Section in the Office of Naval Records and Library. A thorough chronology remains to be written on the Navy’s actions in regard to World War I. The nationality of all vessels, unless otherwise listed, is the United States.
