Title: ●Amendment 48 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Groundfish Fishery of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands and Gulf of Alaska | |
Abstract: This action would amend the process by which harvest specifications would be set in future years. It would update descriptions of the fisheries by removing references to foreign fishing, revise the description of the harvest specifications process to provide for 18 months specifications for most target species and biennial harvest specifications for certain Gulf of Alaska species, revise the name of the BSAI FMP to be consistent with the more concise title of the GOA FMP, and update plan team responsibilities in the harvest specifications process. Objectives for the revised process include managing the Alaska groundfish fisheries based on the best available scientific information and providing meaningful opportunity for useful public comment. | |
