Title: ●Interim 2018 Pacific Coast Tribal Pacific Whiting Allocation  
Abstract:

NMFS has prepared a proposed rule for the tribal Pacific whiting (whiting) fishery off the coast of Washington State. The purpose would be to establish an interim 2018 tribal whiting allocation. NMFS is developing this rule after discussions with the affected tribes and the non-tribal fisheries interests. As in prior years, this allocation is an "interim" allocation that is not intended to set precedent for future years - a new allocation will be set each year after discussions with the affected tribes and fisheries interests.
