Title: Amendment 99 to Modify the Maximum Length Overall for Longline Catcher/Processors Targeting Groundfish in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area | |
Abstract: Amendment 99 modified current limits on the overall length of Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands longline catcher/processor vessels. This action established a process for holders of Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands longline catcher/processor license limitation program licenses endorsed for Pacific cod, to use a newly built or existing vessel greater in length overall than the limits specified under the restrictions of the license limitation program license and the American Fisheries Act. This action was necessary to promote safety-at-sea, by requiring newly built vessels to meet modern vessel safety standards, and to facilitate increased retention and utilization of groundfish catch by these vessels by allowing sector participants to use longer vessels that can accommodate increased processing and hold capabilities. | |
