August 29, 2012 to August 30, 2012
The Pacific Fishery Management Council (Pacific Council) will hold a trawl catch share program gear workshop, which is open to the public. The primary purpose of the workshop is to review the gear restrictions (including area of use) that apply under the recently implemented Trawl Fishery Rationalization program and discuss the need for such restrictions in the context of that program. The workshop will include scoping of various gear restriction alternatives that were recommended by the Trawl Rationalization Regulatory Evaluation Committee at the November 2011 meeting of the Pacific Council. A workshop report will be prepared by Pacific Council staff for Pacific Council consideration at its November 2012 meeting in Costa Mesa, California.
The workshop will be held Wednesday, August 29, 2012 from 1 p.m. until business for the day is completed. The workshop will reconvene Thursday, August 30, 2012 from no earlier than 8:00 a.m. until the earlier of 4:00 p.m. or business for each day has been completed.
