SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the SSC Economics
Subcommittee meeting is to review the economic analysis associated with
sablefish gear switching alternatives being considered by the Pacific
Council. The Pacific Council has been in discussions related to
limiting the use of non-trawl gear to target sablefish north of 36[deg]
N latitude in the trawl individual fishing quota (IFQ) fishery (gear
switching), since 2017. At this point in the process, the SSC Economics
Subcommittee plans to review the economic analysis for the current
version of alternatives, as they have been modified notably over time.
No management actions will be decided by the meeting participants.
The participants' role will be the development of recommendations and
reports for consideration by the SSC and the Pacific Council at a
future Pacific Council meeting. The Pacific Council and Scientific and
Statistical Committee are scheduled to consider the sablefish gear
switching alternatives at their November 2023 meeting in Garden Grove,
CA.
Although nonemergency issues not contained in the meeting agenda
may be discussed, those issues may not be the subject of formal action
during this meeting. Action will be restricted to those issues
specifically listed in this notice and any issues arising after
publication of this notice that require emergency action under Section
305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act,
provided the public has been notified of the intent of the workshop
participants to take final action to address the emergency.
