Abstract: Management of and regulations for Pacific halibut in Alaska are developed on the international, Federal, and state levels by the International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC), the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska Region, and the State of Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G). A Halibut Catch Sharing Plan (HCS Plan) in IPHC Area 2C (Southeast Alaska) and Area 3A (South central Alaska) was developed for the guided sport and commercial fisheries in January 2014. The HCS Plan is an annual process for allocating halibut between the charter and commercial halibut fisheries in Areas 2C and 3A. The HCS Plan describes a public process by which the Council develops recommendations to the IPHC for charter angler harvest restrictions that are intended to limit harvest to the annual charter halibut fishery catch limit in each area.
