Fishery Ecosystem Plan
MEETING GOALS: 1) Conceptual Model Development • Observe DAPs during model building exercises • Learn process of model development • Learn DAPs percepPons on important factors affecPng fisheries within each island and how they are connected

Fishery Ecosystem Plan
MEETING GOALS: 2) Risk Assessment • Part of prioriPzing vulnerabiliPes and risks • Responsibility of the SSC • Used to refine Conceptual Model development • Discussion on Visions and ObjecPves

Analyzing Risk

Risk Assessment Goals for the Mee@ng
• Discuss the risk assessment approach and what has been done for the scoping phase • Refine approach/scoping, as needed • Begin scoring the Scale, Intensity, and & Consequence of some risk elements • Discuss next steps for complePng the risk assessment

Example: What is the risk (intensity and consequence) of not maintaining Essential Fish Habitat because of land-based pollution to Puerto Rico’s mangrove communities?

Rick Assessment
Based on: • Units of Analysis = habitat types (by island) • Proposed Management ObjecPves: Maintain OY, EFH, Resilience • Risk Elements = threats (includes intensity and consequence)
![Page 9: SSC#Update · SSC#Update Caribbean(Fishery(ManagementCouncil(San(Juan,(PR April(2019 SSC#Mee&ng#held#March#26128,#2019](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0556367e708231d41276e4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Risk Elements
64 potenPal risk elements across 7 categories: • Climate/oceanographic forces • Ecological interacPons • Fishing acPviPes • Other in-‐water acPviPes • Land-‐based acPviPes • ConservaPon and management acPons • Socio-‐economic drivers

Ini@al Scoring Sheet Example Repeat for each habitat
![Page 11: SSC#Update · SSC#Update Caribbean(Fishery(ManagementCouncil(San(Juan,(PR April(2019 SSC#Mee&ng#held#March#26128,#2019](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0556367e708231d41276e4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
-‐ Clarified the methodology
-‐ Refined the scale for some scoring elements (e.g. spaPal scale of risk elements)
-‐ Rolled up some risk elements to streamline the scoring process
-‐ Discussed appropriate delineaPon of habitats as unit of analyses
-‐ Began scoring some risk elements
OUTCOMES
![Page 12: SSC#Update · SSC#Update Caribbean(Fishery(ManagementCouncil(San(Juan,(PR April(2019 SSC#Mee&ng#held#March#26128,#2019](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042316/5f0556367e708231d41276e4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
ISSUES Broad discussion of Approach • Units of Analysis, Risk Elements, etc.
Scales of risk elements: uniform or by habitat • Evaluate spaPal and temporal scales for each habitat type (Analysis Unit)
DefiniPon of terms • SpaPal Scale = Full extent of habitat area in which a risk element can occur
Scoring (be conservaPve) • When mixed scores within a group exist, use the highest score • For individual, if score is between 2 categories, round up to higher score.

Scoring example: Intensity
Level Score DescripPon Negligible 1 remote likelihood of detecPon at any spaPal or temporal scale
Minor 2 occurs rarely or in few restricted locaPons and detectability even at these scales is rare
Moderate 3 moderate at broader spaPal scale, or severe but local Major 4 severe and occurs reasonably ohen at broad spaPal scale
Severe 5 occasional but very severe and localised or less severe but widespread and frequent
Catastrophic 6 local to regional severity or conPnual and widespread

Next Steps
Form subcommilee • Reduce the number of risk elements • Evaluate habitats • Further evaluate definiPons
Request another SSC MeePng before the August CFMC MeePng • Populate tables as a group • Complete scoring by expert opinion • Compare results to DAP conceptual models

Review of ABCs and OFLs
The SSC scanned through the final ABCs and OFLs list to detect: • Inconsistencies • Outliers relaPve to intent Request further Pme to evaluate ABCs and OFLs
