Abstract:
Amendment 80 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area primarily would allocate several Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area non-pollock trawl groundfish fisheries among fishing sectors, would establish a limited access privilege program, and would facilitate the formation of harvesting cooperatives in the non-American Fisheries Act (non-AFA) trawl catcher/processor sector (hereinafter the Program). The Program would provide participants with a management system that allows for improved efficiency by providing an environment in which revenues can be increased and operating costs can be reduced. Depending on the magnitude of these potential efficiency gains and the costs of bycatch reduction, increases in efficiency could be used to cover the costs of bycatch reduction measures or provide additional benefits to participants. In addition, the Program would apply retention standards on an aggregate basis to all activities of a cooperative, allowing participants within the cooperative to coordinate fishing and retention practices across the cooperative to meet the retention requirements.
