Declares the fishery conservation programs shall: (1) utilize all scientific information available; (2) develop the domestic fishing industry; (3) minimize adverse impacts on commercial fishermen; (4) provide the greatest overall benefit to the Nation; and (5) encourage the maximum sustainable yield from the fishing industry. Provides for the total closing of a species to fishing upon the concurrence of the Secretary of State and the appropriate regional council that there is an imminent threat to that species.
