Federal Fisheries off Alaska; Salmon Donation Program

The North Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) has submitted Amendment 26 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Groundfish Fishery of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Island Area and Amendment 29 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska (FMPs). These amendments would authorize a voluntary Salmon Donation Program (SDP) for distribution of Pacific salmon taken as bycatch in the groundfish trawl fisheries off Alaska to economically disadvantaged individuals by tax-exempt organizations through a NMFS authorized distributor. Comments are requested from the public.
