Description:This Fishery Management Plan (FMP) has been developed by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council and is for the groundfish fishery ( excluding halibut) of the Gulf of Alaska. In 1978 it replaced the Preliminary Fishery Management Plan for the management of groundfish in the Gulf of Alaska. Since then the FMP has been amended fifty-two times. Amendments are frequently required in response to stock fluctuations or changes in allocations. A number of amendments modified the sablefish Individual Fishing Quota program. Since 1997, the FMP has been amended to respond to new requirements on essential fish habitat and overfishing in the Sustainable Fisheries Act of 1996, and to avoid seabirds in hook-and-line fisheries.
