Title: 2019 -- 2020 Harvest Specifications and Management Measures for Pacific Coast Groundfish and Fishery Management Plan | |
Abstract:
Every other year, the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) makes recommendations to set biennial allowable harvest levels for Pacific Coast groundfish, and recommends management measures for commercial, recreational, and Tribal fisheries that are designed to achieve those harvest levels consistent with the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan. For the 2019 -- 2020 biennium, the Council has recommended the following: harvest specifications, including overfishing limits, acceptable biological catches, and annual catch limits; management measures to achieve those specifications; changes to the yelloweye rockfish rebuilding plan, which would increase the annual catch limit for this species for the 2-year biennial management period; and measures to reduce salmon bycatch in the groundfish fisheries. The specifications and management measures forwarded by this action are in effect from January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2020. |
