Description:

This Environmental Assessment/Regulatory Impact Review (EA/RIR) examines a suite of measures to change Steller Sea Lion (SSL) protection measures in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) that could provide economic relief to GOA groundfish fisheries and local fishery-dependent communities without being likely to adversely affect the endangered western distinct population segment of SSLs or its designated critical habitat. These changes include revising the closure areas around four SSL haulouts in the GOA, revising procedures for pollock total allowable catch rollover, and eliminating certain stand-down periods between seasons in the pollock fishery.
