The overall task for the Committee is to provide recommendations for the scenarios to be analyzed in the upcoming halibut abundance-based management PSC limit analysis and provide recommendations on measurable objectives and associated performance metrics to be considered by analysts in evaluating trade-offs among alternatives. At the November teleconference, the Committee will discuss the terms of reference for the committee, timing and process for submission of scenarios, information available and process for recommending management objectives and performance metrics prior to the February Council meeting.
