Title: ●Central Gulf of Alaska Rockfish Program Fishery Management Plan GOA 88 
Abstract: Amendment 88 would implement the Central Gulf of Alaska Rockfish Program to replace the existing regulations for the Rockfish Pilot Program that are scheduled to expire at the end of 2011. This program would allocate exclusive harvest privileges to a select group of License Limitation Program (LLP) license holders who used trawl gear to target Pacific ocean perch, pelagic shelf rockfish, and northern rockfish during a suite of qualifying years. It would retain the conservation, management, safety, and economic gains realized under the rockfish pilot program and resolve identified issues in the management and viability of each sector. This program, if approved, would be implemented in 2012.
