manages domestic fisheries in the U.S.
exclusive economic zone of the
Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and South
Atlantic regions under multiple fishery
management plans (FMPs). The regional
fishery management councils prepared
the FMPs pursuant to the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens
Act). NMFS implements the FMPs
through regulations located at 50 CFR
part 622.
The regulations located at 50 CFR part
622 form the basis for the information
collection requirements that are
currently approved under OMB Control
Number 0648–0358, Southeast Region
Vessel and Gear Identification
Requirements. NMFS has no immediate
plans to change identification
requirements for fishing vessels or gear
in 50 CFR part 622.
Regulations at 50 CFR part 622
require that all federally permitted
fishing vessels must be marked with
some form of identification. A vessel’s
official number, under most regulations,
must be displayed on the port and
starboard sides of the deckhouse or hull,
and on the weather deck. In addition,
regulations for certain fisheries also
require the display of the assigned color
code for the vessel. The official number
and color code identify each vessel and

Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia,
Spain, and Sweden.

should be visible at distance from the
sea and in the air. These markings
provide law enforcement personnel
with a means to monitor fishing, at-sea
processing, and other related activities,
and to determine whether observed
activities on the vessel are in
accordance with those authorized for
that vessel. NMFS, the United States
Coast Guard, and other marine agencies
use the identifying official number in
monitoring compliance, issuing
violations, prosecutions, and other
enforcement actions. Vessels that are
authorized for particular fisheries are
readily identified and gear violations are
more readily prosecuted, thereby
enabling for more cost-effective
enforcement.
In addition to vessel marking,
requirements that fishing gear be
marked are essential to facilitate
enforcement. The ability to link fishing
gear to the vessel owner is crucial to
enforcement of regulations issued under
the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens
Act. The marking of fishing gear is also
valuable in actions concerning damage,
loss, and civil proceedings. The
requirements imposed on U.S. fisheries
in the southeast region apply to
aquacultured live rock; golden crab
traps; spiny lobster traps and buoys;
black sea bass pots, buoys, and buoy
lines; Spanish mackerel gillnet buoys;
and buoy gear.
II. Method of Collection
Markings, such as numbers, are
placed directly on fishing vessels and
gear.
