Summary

The purpose of this Draft SPEA is to evaluate potential direct, indirect, and cumulative effects of changes in research that were not analyzed in the 2015 Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC) Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA), 2020 Supplemental PEA (SPEA), or new research activities along the U.S. West Coast. Where necessary, updates to certain information on species, stock status, other components of the affected environment will be addressed. Beneficial and adverse impacts of the proposed action will be addressed, and aim to reach the conclusion of no significant impacts.
