Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Inshore/ Offshore Allocations of Pollock and Pacific Cod Total Allowable Catch

概要

NMFS proposes regulations to implement Amendment 51 to the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for the Groundfish Fishery of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Area (BSAI) and Amendment 51 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) (FMPs). These amendments would allocate pollock in the BSAI and pollock and Pacific cod in the GOA between inshore and offshore industry components for the years 1999 through 2001. NMFS proposes other associated regulatory measures as well. The amendments and the proposed implementing regulations were submitted by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) and are intended to promote the socioeconomic goals and objectives of the Council and the FMPs.
