Summary
Stevens-Inouye International Fisheries Monitoring and Compliance Legacy Act of 2006 - Amends the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act to authorize the promotion of improved compliance for high seas fisheries or fisheries governed by international fishery management agreements. Requires actions to improve the effectiveness of international fishery management organizations in managing fish stocks. Mandates reports on a nation whose fishing vessels are engaged in illegal, unreported, or unregulated fishing or fishing resulting in certain bycatch. Modifies requirements regarding Pacific Insular Area fisheries monitoring. Mandates research on Atlantic billfish. Reauthorizes the Atlantic Tunas Conventions Act of 1975. Requires the application of alternate provisions (established by this Act) when determined that an area within a Regional Fishery Management Council's geographical area of authority is overfished or approaching a condition of being overfished due to excessive international fishing pressure. Adds a provision to the "bycatch" definition exclusion. Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Convention Implementation Act - Regulates U.S. representation on the Commission for the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean. Sets forth authorities of the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Commerce. Makes certain acts unlawful. Requires masters of certain commercial fishing vessels to give notice of the circumstances under which they will enter U.S. exclusive economic zone (EEZ) waters. Pacific Whiting Act of 2006 - Provides for the appointment of members of various bodies under the Agreement between the Government of the United States and the Government of Canada on Pacific Hake/Whiting. Sets the U.S. catch level for pacific whiting according to the standards and procedures of the Agreement and the provisions of this Act rather than under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.
