March 2, 2015 Dorothy Lowman, Chair Pacific Fishery Management Council 7700 N.E. Ambassador Place, Suite 101 Portland, OR 97220-1384 RE: Agenda Item E.4 – Unmanaged Forage Fish Protection Final Action Dear Chair Lowman and Members of the Council: The Pew Charitable Trusts has collected 2,952 comments in support of the Council’s final action this March to protect unmanaged forage fish through the adoption of a Final Preferred Alternative that prohibits new directed fishing on seven groups of currently unfished forage species absent robust prior review. Please include the attached petition as an electronic submission on the web site for the Council’s supplemental briefing book. The petition itself is included here, along with the names and cities of individual signers that were gathered as of February 27, 2015. The Council may continue to receive additional comments in the days ahead. Thank you very much. Sincerely,
Gilly Lyons The Pew Charitable Trusts

Dear Chair Lowman and council members, I greatly appreciate the steady progress the council has made over the past three years to protect forage fish. The science clearly shows—and the public recognizes—that forage fish are the critical middle link in ocean food webs. As you know, the ocean off the West Coast supports valuable commercial and recreational fisheries, as well as ecotourism and other industries that are economic drivers for our coastal communities. Healthy populations of forage fish make all of this possible. I join thousands of fellow citizens in supporting the council‘s final action, due in March, to protect currently unmanaged forage fish. This action will designate them as ecosystem component species and ensure that adequate science and management are in place before new commercial fisheries can target them. Establishing basic, precautionary management for these critical species makes sense and is an important step in the transition to ecosystem-based fishery management. Forage fish protection has also received strong support from a variety of stakeholders involved in fisheries management, including commercial and recreational fishermen, processors, environmentalists, and the agencies themselves. Rarely has there been such widespread agreement on a management action, and the council should be applauded for its inclusive, deliberate, and scientific process. Taking final action in March is essential to maintaining the long-term health of our West Coast marine ecosystem and all the benefits we derive from it. In so doing, the council will fulfill the first initiative of its Fishery Ecosystem Plan, a visionary document intended to guide its implementation of ecosystem-based fishery management. Certainly, protecting forage fish is a great first step. Thank you for your continued commitment to maintaining a healthy ocean and sustainable fisheries. Sincerely,

protecting the schools of forage fish; forage fish support the entire food web and feed every living thing.

time, we have placed our environ-ment in jeopardy. We have fouled the air & dirtied the waters. We have caused the extinction of species, in the air, on the land, & in the sea! I beg you, please, do not allow the greed of a few, to destroy the lives of many!!! Listen to your conscience...consider & adopt comprehensive conservation & recovery measures, save the little fish, which translates to save lives! Please, encourage the fishery management council to protect the little fish who feed the bigger fish, seabirds, & marine mammals! This is the oceans circle of life! This is the circle which will nourish and enrich all life. When you initiate measures to protect forage species, you protect &
recognize the importance of all sea life; ultimately, you protect human life! If you have men who will exclude any of god creatures from the shelter of compassion & pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men. St. Francis of Assisi envision the restoration of clear air, clean water, the importance of all, no matter the size, then, life which will flourish! Now turn that vision to reality!

I do not advocate taking any from the Native Americans. Rather, we can all do without derbies and salmon for a year or two or with LESS to ensure that the fish stocks remain healthy for the wildlife. Our Southern Residents
NEED this. Please, consider stricter regulations on public fishing.

BOB TRIGGS Port Townsend
WA I am a fishing guide in the State of Washington. Our forage species are struggling against many factors here. Our whales are sometimes dying of starvation or malnutrition. Our salmon are often below normal weight and fat content. We do not have the density or widespread abundance of forage fish and other species that is needed here to promote healthier fish, bird and mammals, and sustains the myriad marine organisms that live
interdependently in our waters. We need to do more to rebuild our weakened marine food chain.

SHARI B Darrington TN My father was a small time commercial fisherman back when there was not any fancy equipment on board to track the fish. He said they knew where the salmon where by watching for the herring balls in the Puget Sound. He also said the salmon used to double their weight in Puget Sound before going upriver to spawn. Then along came International Fisheries for herring and other forage fish in the 1970's. That and the big ocean trawlers with the 30 mile long nets and the fish decline quickly. It is not about the habitat. You can build them a 5 star hotel but if you mug the fish before they get to
the rivers to spawn all the habitat is for not.

LA Humans have many food options. We can eat beans and rice, lake fish, etc. The world is our
larder. Marine mammals, seabirds and larger fish have but one option - forage fish. They can't pick up the phone and order take out if the forage fish are low or depleted. If we fish out their forage fish., i.e. their food, they die from starvation. As humans we have to share the resources of the planet with other creatures. We can't simply take take take.

Boston MA West Coast fishery leaders Dear Chair Lowman and council members, The time is now to start act to start a scheduled to place new protections on the little fish that are a big deal in a productive and healthy ocean ecosystem. The forage species such as saury, sand lance, and various types of squid are not managed or monitored. This is the time to protect all the species. To the Pacific Fishery Management Council , Please consider a smart approach: assessing the cost to the rest of the ecosystem before allowing fishing to begin. .Because every time this fisher man and
their tools and trawlers are used they destroy the little fish and that hurts the growth of fish. Thank you for taking in consideration this view. Please protect the Pacific forage fish,the small fish other the species Sincerely Maria Celia Hernandez

In addition to those listed above on this petition, the Council office received the following similar or identical emails: From: Julia Harris <[email protected]> Date: Tue, Feb 24, 2015 at 4:22 PM Subject: Protect Forage Fish To: [email protected] Dear Chair Lowman and Council Members, I greatly appreciate the progress the Council has made over the past three years to protect forage fish. The science clearly shows that forage fish are the critical middle link in ocean food webs and that seabirds, whales, and other marine life depend on forage fish as a vital food resource. I respectfully ask the Council to take final action in protecting unmanaged forage fish at the March 9, 2015 meeting by adopting the final preferred alternative (Alternative 2) that designates these species as ecosystem component species and prohibits new directed fisheries for these species without a full analysis. Establishing basic, precautionary management for these critical species makes sense and is an important step in the transition to ecosystem-based fishery management. Taking final action in March is essential to maintaining the long-term health of our West Coast marine ecosystem and all the benefits we derive from it. In so doing, the Council will fulfill the first initiative of its Fishery Ecosystem Plan, a visionary document intended to guide its implementation of ecosystem-based fishery management. Protecting forage fish is a great first step. Thank you for your continued commitment to maintaining a healthy ocean and sustainable fisheries.

I respectfully ask the Council to take final action in protecting unmanaged forage fish at the March 9, 2015 meeting by adopting the final preferred alternative (Alternative 2) that designates these species as ecosystem component species and prohibits new directed fisheries for these species without a full analysis. Establishing basic, precautionary management for these critical species makes sense and is an important step in the transition to ecosystem-based fishery management. Taking final action in March is essential to maintaining the long-term health of our West Coast marine ecosystem and all the benefits we derive from it. In so doing, the Council will fulfill the first initiative of its Fishery Ecosystem Plan, a visionary document intended to guide its implementation of ecosystem-based fishery management. Protecting forage fish is a great first step. Thank you for your continued commitment to maintaining a healthy ocean and sustainable fisheries.

The science clearly shows—and the public recognizes—that forage fish are the critical middle link in ocean food webs. As you know, the ocean off the West Coast supports valuable commercial and recreational fisheries, as well as ecotourism and other industries that are economic drivers for our coastal communities. Healthy populations of forage fish make all of this possible. I join thousands of fellow citizens in supporting the council‘s final action, due in March, to protect currently unmanaged forage fish. This action will designate them as ecosystem component species and ensure that adequate science and management are in place before new commercial fisheries can target them. Establishing basic, precautionary management for these critical species makes sense and is an important step in the transition to ecosystem-based fishery management. Forage fish protection has also received strong support from a variety of stakeholders involved in fisheries management, including commercial and recreational fishermen, processors, environmentalists, and the agencies themselves. Rarely has there been such widespread agreement on a management action, and the council should be applauded for its inclusive, deliberate, and scientific process.

Taking final action in March is essential to maintaining the long-term health of our West Coast marine ecosystem and all the benefits we derive from it. Thank you for your continued commitment to maintaining a healthy ocean and sustainable fisheries. Sincerely, Moss Drake
Kari Luna <[email protected]> to pfmc.comments Dear Chair Lowman and Council members, I greatly appreciate the progress the Council has made over the past three years to protect forage fish. The science clearly shows that forage fish are the critical middle link in ocean food webs and that seabirds, whales, and other marine life depend on forage fish as a vital food resource.

There's a reason I've stayed in this beautiful state. Please, take the necessary steps to do what we can to save the health of our oceans for future generations. I believe forage fish truly are a crucial link in ocean food webs and that "seabirds, whales, and other marine life depend on forage fish as a vital food resource." It's so very important. I'm taking time away from Sunday dinner with the family to reach out to you and to others, to everyone I know, asking people to speak up about this.
