Fishery  Ecosystem  Plan

MEETING  GOALS:  1)  Conceptual  Model  Development  • Observe  DAPs  during  model  building  exercises  •  Learn  process  of  model  development  •  Learn  DAPs  percepPons  on  important  factors  affecPng  fisheries  within  each  island  and  how  they  are  connected

MEETING  GOALS:  2)  Risk  Assessment  • Part  of    prioriPzing  vulnerabiliPes  and  risks  • Responsibility  of  the  SSC  • Used  to  refine  Conceptual  Model  development  • Discussion  on  Visions  and  ObjecPves

Structure/Process  of  FEPs Where  are  we?  Developing  conceptual  model  

Analyzing  Risk

Risk  Assessment  Goals  for  the  Mee@ng

• Discuss  the  risk  assessment  approach  and  what  has  been  done  for  the  scoping  phase  • Refine  approach/scoping,  as  needed  • Begin  scoring  the  Scale,  Intensity,  and  &  Consequence  of  some  risk  elements  • Discuss  next  steps  for  complePng  the  risk  assessment

Ecosystem Risk Assessment Framework

Risk Intensity & Consequence

Council Management Objectives

Example: What is the risk (intensity and consequence) of not maintaining Essential Fish Habitat because of land-based pollution to Puerto Rico’s mangrove communities?

Rick  Assessment

Based  on:    • Units  of  Analysis  =  habitat  types  (by  island)  • Proposed  Management  ObjecPves:  Maintain  OY,  EFH,  Resilience  • Risk  Elements  =  threats  (includes  intensity  and  consequence)  

Page 9: SSC#Update · SSC#Update Caribbean(Fishery(ManagementCouncil(San(Juan,(PR April(2019 SSC#Mee&ng#held#March#26128,#2019

Risk  Elements

64  potenPal  risk  elements  across  7  categories:  • Climate/oceanographic  forces  • Ecological  interacPons  • Fishing  acPviPes  • Other  in-­‐water  acPviPes  • Land-­‐based  acPviPes  • ConservaPon  and  management  acPons  • Socio-­‐economic  drivers

-­‐  Clarified  the  methodology  

-­‐  Refined  the  scale  for  some  scoring  elements  (e.g.  spaPal  scale  of  risk  elements)  

-­‐  Rolled  up  some  risk  elements  to  streamline  the  scoring  process  

-­‐  Discussed  appropriate  delineaPon  of  habitats  as  unit  of  analyses  

-­‐  Began  scoring  some  risk  elements  

OUTCOMES

Page 12: SSC#Update · SSC#Update Caribbean(Fishery(ManagementCouncil(San(Juan,(PR April(2019 SSC#Mee&ng#held#March#26128,#2019

ISSUES Broad  discussion  of  Approach  • Units  of  Analysis,  Risk  Elements,  etc.  

Scales  of  risk  elements:  uniform  or  by  habitat  •  Evaluate  spaPal  and  temporal  scales  for  each  habitat  type  (Analysis  Unit)  

DefiniPon  of  terms  •  SpaPal  Scale  =  Full  extent  of  habitat  area  in  which  a  risk  element  can  occur  

Scoring  (be  conservaPve)  • When  mixed  scores  within  a  group  exist,  use  the  highest  score  •  For  individual,  if  score  is  between  2  categories,  round  up  to  higher  score.

Scoring  example:  Intensity

Level   Score   DescripPon  Negligible   1  remote  likelihood  of  detecPon  at  any  spaPal  or  temporal  scale  

Minor   2  occurs  rarely  or  in  few  restricted  locaPons  and  detectability  even  at  these  scales  is  rare  

Moderate   3  moderate  at  broader  spaPal  scale,  or  severe  but  local  Major   4  severe  and  occurs  reasonably  ohen  at  broad  spaPal  scale  

Severe   5  occasional  but  very  severe  and  localised  or  less  severe  but  widespread  and  frequent  

Catastrophic   6  local  to  regional  severity  or  conPnual  and  widespread

Next  Steps

Form  subcommilee  •  Reduce  the  number  of  risk  elements  •  Evaluate  habitats  •  Further  evaluate  definiPons  

Request  another  SSC  MeePng  before  the  August  CFMC  MeePng  •  Populate  tables  as  a  group  •  Complete  scoring  by  expert  opinion  •  Compare  results  to  DAP  conceptual  models

Review  of  ABCs  and  OFLs

The  SSC  scanned  through  the  final  ABCs  and  OFLs  list  to  detect:  •  Inconsistencies  • Outliers  relaPve  to  intent    Request  further  Pme  to  evaluate  ABCs  and  OFLs
