The Pacific Fishery Management Council (Pacific Council) recently appointed the membership of the Cost Recovery Committee (CRC). Please see Chairman Cedergreen’s announcement to view the committee purpose and roster.
The Pacific Council will convene a meeting of the CRC that is open to the public. The primary purpose of the meeting is to develop advice for the Pacific Council on the development of a cost recovery program whereby the fishing industry is assessed a fee to pay for a portion of the costs of the recently implemented groundfish trawl rationalization program. The CRC will 1) discuss the federal and state materials put forward at the recent June, 2011 Pacific Council meeting, and 2) develop a recommendation to the Pacific Council for their September meeting on a process to complete a Council recommendation on a cost recovery program. Other topics may be discussed as time allows, at the discretion of the CRC Chair.
