Title: Gulf of Alaska Steller Sea Lion Protection Measures Revisions
Abstract: This action would revise Steller sea lion protection measures for the pollock and Pacific cod fisheries in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). The revisions adjust fishing closure areas near four Steller sea lion haulouts for pollock and Pacific cod fisheries and would modify the seasonal management of pollock harvest in the GOA. The intent of the revisions is to provide some economic relief to GOA communities while maintaining protection for Steller sea lions and their critical habitat.
