== Gulf of Alaska nonpollock trawlers limited to 7500 kings ==

+

<html>The North Pacific Fishery Management Council set a cap on king salmon bycatch caught by the nonpollock trawl fleet in the Gulf of Alaska today after considerable public testimony and council discussion.

+

Council member Cora Campbell, Alaska s fish and game commissioner made the motion for a 7,500 salmon cap, which is further apportioned into separate limits for catcher processor, catcher vessel and rockfish program sectors.

+

The action also creates some flexibility and incentive from year to year through an uncertainty pool.

+

That idea, which was proposed by former council member Mark Fina in public testimony, offers each sector a slight increase in the cap if they stay below it the year prior. That increase does not roll over beyond one year,[http://www.nikenflonlinestore.com/nfl-jerseys-c-598 Cheap nfl jerseys USA], and if a sector uses the wiggle room one year, the next year they will be kept to the hardcap.

+

Fina now works for US Seafoods, and presented his idea during testimony shared with the Alaska Marine Conservation Council s Theresa Peterson.

+

The motion also requires full retention of king salmon onboard the nonpollock trawl vessels.

+

The cap passed in a 10-1 vote, with council member Craig Cross as the sole no vote.

+

Cross said he was not opposed to hard caps in general, or to protecting king salmon, but didn t feel comfortable with the economic hardships that the action could inflict in communities dependent on the trawl fleets.

+

Throughout the trawl bycatch issue, including the final vote, Glenn Merrill was standing in for National Marine Fisheries Service administrator Jim Balsiger.

+

Council member Roy Hyder made a substitute motion for a 10,000 king cap that failed in a 5-6 vote.

+

Hyder, Cross, John Henderschedt, Bill Tweit and Merrill voted for the higher cap.

+

Hyder s motion paralleled the Advisory Panel, or AP, recommendation, which received significant support in public testimony. In addition to the higher cap, it had a different treatment of rollovers/incentives, particularly for the rockfish program.

+

Many from industry and the community of Kodiak talked about the potential hardship of the cap, and the economic losses that could be incurred if the fleet is shut down early. The fleet has not hit the 10,000 fish cap very often in the past decade, but would have been shut down in some recent years at the 7,500 fish limit.

+

Others in the public did support a much lower cap, including representatives who referenced king salmon disaster declarations throughout the state, and ever-declining king runs. While the trawl-caught fish might not all be headed for the troubled stream, every fish counts, they said.

+

Tomorrow,[http://jahnel-verlag.de/wikifreising/index.php/Benutzer:Vickjones79#Losing_in_overtime_on_consecutive_nights_puts_Wranglers_in_p Losing in overtime on consecutive nights puts Wranglers in p], the council will take up possible tools for bycatch reduction in the Gulf, which could aid the trawl fleet in meeting the new cap,[http://www.nikenflonlinestore.com/ Nike NFL Jerseys Shop], as well as assist other vessels in meeting their own caps.</html>
