Resumen

This Fishery Management Plan (FMP) of the North Pacific Fishery Management Council governs groundfish fisheries off the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). The FMP management area is the United States (U.S.) exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the North Pacific Ocean, exclusive of the Bering Sea, between the eastern Aleutian Islands at 170E W. longitude and Dixon Entrance at 132E40' W. longitude. The FMP covers fisheries for all stocks of finfish except salmon, steelhead, Pacific halibut, Pacific herring, and tuna. The North Pacific Fishery Management Council is one of eight regional councils established by the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act in 1976 to manage fisheries in the 200-mile Exclusive Economic Zone. The Magnuson-Stevens Act contains ten national standards, with which all FMPs must conform and which guide fishery management. FMPs must also be consistent with the requirements of other legislation such as the Marine Mammal Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act. Climate change-induced effects are taken into account in fishery management measures. Pursuant to Title II of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, there is currently no allowable level of foreign fishing for the groundfish fisheries covered by this FMP.
