Description:In August of 2005, fishing in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Island crab fisheries began under a new sharebased management program known as the Crab Rationalization Program (CR Program). The CR Program is unique in several ways, including the allocation of a portion of the harvest share pool to captains for exclusive use by captains and crew (C shares). Under the program, individuals holding C share individual fishing quota (IFQ) are required to be onboard the vessel harvesting those IFQ. C share quota share (QS) holders who choose to join a cooperative are exempt from this requirement, however. In addition, to acquire C shares a person must have actively participated in a fishery subject to the program during the preceding 365 days. At its June 2007 meeting, based on public testimony and input from the Advisory Panel, the North Pacific Fishery Management (Council) directed staff to analyze elements and options revising the active participation requirements for C share acquisition and use.
