. "Sustainable," "sustainable use," and "sustainability," with
regard to a marine fishery, mean both of the following:
(a) Continuous replacement of resources, taking into account
fluctuations in abundance and environmental variability.
(b) Securing the fullest possible range of present and long-term
economic, social, and ecological benefits, maintaining biological
diversity, and, in the case of fishery management based on maximum
sustainable yield, taking in a fishery that does not exceed optimum
yield.
