The Halibut ABM Stakeholder Committee was formed to provide the Council with recommendations for the scenarios to be analyzed in the upcoming halibut abundance-based management PSC limit analysis. The Committee will also provide recommendations on measurable objectives and associated performance metrics to be considered by analysts in evaluating trade-offs among alternatives. The committee will meet to draft these scenarios prior to the February 2019 Council meeting, with an initial update on Committee progress to be provided to the Council in December. The Committee is intended to include a range of interested stakeholders from both the directed BSAI groundfish and directed Area 4 halibut fisheries. Members were selected on November 6, 2018.
The first Committee meeting will be held by teleconference (907-271-2896) on November 29, 2018, from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon (Alaska time), AGENDA. Dr. Diana Stram is the staff contact and will provide additional information as it becomes available.
