U.S. Ocean Action PlanThe President's new oceans "Action Plan" creates a new cabinet-level post to act on ocean policy and calls for working to amend Magnuson-Stevens to allow IFQs but develop "national guidelines." Specifically, the report says the Administration will continue to work with the regional fisheries in support of IFQs and will propose legislation in the next session to reauthorize Magnuson-Stevens to permit IFQs and that will "strike a balance in assuring flexibility in development of IFQs and the need to preserve certain protections." It also directs NOAA to work with regional fishery councils in developing national guidelines on IFQs.
