Description:Background. The scallop fishery in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) (3 to 200 nautical miles offshore) and in Alaskan state waters has been managed by the State of Alaska (State) since a fishery began in 1968. These regulations established guideline harvest levels (GHLs) for different scallop registration areas, fishing seasons, open and closed fishing areas, observer coverage requirements, gear restrictions, and measures to limit the processing efficiency of undersized scallops that include a ban on the use of mechanical shucking machines and a limitation on crew size. A Federal Fishery Management Plan (FMP) was adopted by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) in April 1995 and approved by NMFS on July 26, 1995
