As part of a fishery ecosystem plan, developed by the Western
Pacific Fishery Management Council under the authorization of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, NMFS requires
that owners of commercial fishing vessels in the bottomfish fishery in
the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) obtain a
federal bottomfish permit. If their vessels are over 40 ft. (12.2 m)
long, they must also mark their vessels in compliance with federal
identification requirements and carry and maintain a satellite-based
vessel monitoring system (VMS). These requirements are set out in 50

permit issuance, to identify actual or potential participants in the
fishery, and aid in enforcement of regulations and area closures.
