Description:

The domestic and foreign groundfish fishery in the fishery conservation zone (3-200 miles offshore) of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands is managed under the Fishery Management Plan for Ground£ ish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands. The FMP was developed by the Council under the Magnuson Act and approved by the Assistant Administrator and implemented January 1, 1982. Amendments 1-4 and 7-10 to the FMP have been approved by the Assistant Administrator. Amendment 5 was withdrawn and Amendment 6 was disapproved.

At its March 18-20, 1987, meeting, the Council reviewed the status of the two FMPs and certain problems that have been identified, either through experience gained from nine years of fishery management or through situations unforeseen as the domestic fishery has developed. It received recommendations from the PT, the Advisory Panel (AP), and the Scientific and Statistical Committee (SSC) on alternative management measures that could be adopted, as Amendment 16 to the FMP, to resolve the problems. The Council adopted an Amendment 16 "public hearing" package for consideration by the public, the fishing industry, and management agencies that analyzes the biological, ecological, and socioeconomic effects of these management measures. At its May 20-22, 1987 meeting, the Council chose to adopt the status quo alternative on many of the proposed measures, thereby, deleting all but two of these measures from Amendment 16. At its September 23-25, 1987 meeting, the Council approved recommendations from a Council appointed workgroup augmenting reporting requirements for domestic catcher /processors. As a result Chapter 4, "Improve Catch Recording Requirements", has been reincluded in this document, and the reporting requirements changes become part of Amendment 16 to the Gulf of Alaska FMP and an addendum to Amendment 11 of the Bering Sea FMP (approved by the Council in June 1987). The addendum to the Bering Sea Amendment 11 will be called Amendment lla to the FMP.
