Summary
Every other year, the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) makes recommendations to set biennial allowable harvest levels for Pacific Coast groundfish, and recommends management measures for commercial, recreational, and tribal fisheries that are designed to achieve those harvest levels consistent with the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan.
Regulations must be effective by January 1, 2019 for the start of the fishing year.
Meeting the January 1 deadline is always an issue.
