Initial OMP candidates for the Inaccessible and Gough rock lobster fisheries

In 2013, an OMP (Operational Management Procedure) was developed for the Tristan island rock lobster fishery (Johnston and Butterworth 2013). This OMP was used to set the quota at Tristan for the 2013 season, and will be used for the next three Seasons, with four yearly revisions thereafter.

This document reports CMPs (Candidate Management Procedures) for the Inaccessible and Gough rock lobster fisheries, with the intention that the final selected OMP for each island will be used for setting the quotas at these two islands for the 2014 season and the following three seasons.
