Flowchart of charter halibut management process

Charter halibut mgmt process and timeline (click to expand)

The Charter Halibut Management Committee provides recommendations to the Council on any issue affecting charter halibut management off Alaska. Membership of the Committee represents a diversity of charter halibut fishing communities in Areas 2C and 3A.

On an annual basis, the Committee recommends regulations for the Council to consider in its recommendations for managing the charter fishery in Areas 2C and 3A. The Committee meets each October to develop its recommendations for the upcoming year. Estimates of halibut catch under the proposed harvest measures are then evaluated by ADF&G staff and are presented to the Council for action at their December meeting.

Staff contact is Jim Armstrong, 907-271-2809.
