Alternative 2(a) through 2(o): Redefine management reference points or proxies based on the year sequence of landings data as defined in Action 1(a) Alternatives 1-5. Rationale: MSY Proxy - SSC recommends to select alt 2(a) Median Landings for Puerto Rico: (Commercial and Recreational Units): Grunts, goatfishes, squirrelfish, porgies, jacks, triggerfish, boxfish, filefish, wrasses and alt 2(b) Mean Landings for STT/STJ and STX: Grunts, goatfishes, squirrelfish, porgies, jacks, triggerfish, boxfish, filefish, wrasses, angelfish, surgeonfish and tilefish. For PR angelfish, surgeonfish and tilefish SSC recommends alt 2(c) MSY proxy = Maximum of a single year of recreational landings x 3.

SSC recommends alt 2(h) ABC=OFL for STT/STJ and STX. SSC recommends alt 2(k) ABC=[OFLx (0.50)] for Surgeonfish and Angelfish. OY/ACL – SSC recommends alt 2(n) OY=ACL=[ABC x (0.75)]
