Title: Implementation of Salmon Bycatch Management Measures for the Bering Sea Pollock Fishery | |
Abstract: Regulatory Amendment 110 made substantive changes to the management of salmon bycatch in the Bering Sea pollock fishery to minimize salmon bycatch in the pollock fishery to the extent practicable. Currently, Chinook and chum salmon bycatch are managed under two different programs, which have led to inefficiencies and do not allow the pollock fishery the flexibility to modify their harvest patterns and practices to effectively minimize both Chinook and chum salmon bycatch. This regulation made salmon bycatch management more effective, comprehensive, and efficient by increasing flexibility to respond to changing conditions and providing greater incentives to reduce bycatch of both salmon species. This regulation provided the flexibility to harvest pollock in times and places that best achieve salmon avoidance and to adapt to changing conditions quickly. | |
