About the Council

The Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council is one of eight councils established by Congress in 1976. Under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA), the Western Pacific Council has authority over fisheries in the Pacific Ocean seaward of state/territorial waters of Hawai‘i, American Samoa, Guam, the Common-wealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and eight US Pacific remote island areas. The MSA mandates the establishment of Advisory Panels (APs) to assist the councils in the collection and evaluation of infor-mation relevant to the development and

About This Calendar

In the traditional Hawaiian calendar, the 29.5-day mahina (moon) cycle is divided into three anahulu (10-day periods): ho‘onui (growing bigger), beginning on the first visible crescent; poepoe (round

or full); and emi (decreasing). The traditional names of the Hawaiian moon months and phases may vary by island and moku (district). This calendar uses the O‘ahu moon phases listed in the Hawaiian Almanac by Clarice Taylor. The tides are for Honolulu.

amendment of its fishery management plans. The Hawai‘i AP, assists the Western Pacific Council with the Hawai‘i Archipe lago and Pacific Pelagic Fishery Ecosystem Plans. AP members are appointed by the Council and serve four-year terms. They represent a balance of commercial, recrea-tional and other interests. Gary Beals (captsmurf2@hotmail.com) is the Hawai‘i AP chair. Decisions and recommendations made by the APs are advisory. Regular and emergency meetings of the AP are open to the public unless they pertain to matters of national security, employment or litigation.
