Halibut IFQ holders and deckhands

Post by Ocean Gold »

We need everyone (quota share holders, crew, family, members of the public who buy from the commercial sector) at the next council meeting in Anchorage. The Dates for the halibut issue are Oct 1 -3rd, 2008 at the Sheraton. This is scheduled to be final action on the halibut allocation between the charter and longline fleet. The charter fleet has reintroduced their proposal for a two fish of any size bag limit for a historical length season 100, 150 , 200 days or more? with no management restrictions until the stocks are in crisis on a coastwide basis. If you can't attend, at least send comments in by Sept 24th by 5:00 pm (comment deadline) THIS DOES AND WILL EFFECT ALL COMMERCIAL FISHING any questions feel free to call 209-5400 or email SEAFA at seafa@gci.net
