Title: ●Amendment 95 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska | |
Abstract: This action implements Amendment 95 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska (FMP). This action modifies halibut prohibited species catch (PSC) management in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) to 1) establish the GOA halibut PSC limits in federal regulation; 2) reduce the GOA halibut PSC limits for the trawl, hook and line catcher/processor and catcher vessel sectors, and the hook and line demersal shelf rockfish fishery in the Southeast Outside District; and 3) allow two additional options for vessels to better maintain groundfish harvest while achieving the halibut PSC reduction of this action. This action is necessary to reduce halibut bycatch in the GOA. This action is intended to promote the goals and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the FMP, and other applicable law. | |
