Abstract:
The License Limitation Program (LLP) restricts access to the commercial groundfish fisheries, commercial crab fisheries, and commercial scallop fisheries in the Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska except for certain areas where alternative programs exist. The intended effect of the LLP is to limit the number of participants and reduce fishing capacity in fisheries off Alaska. The application periods for LLP licenses have ended, and no new licenses will be issued. This collection currently supports transfer of LLP licenses for groundfish, crabs, and scallops.
