Shoreside Whiting Alternative Group to meet
via Conference Call
Conference Call Date: 1 p.m, January 2, 2007
The Pacific Fishery Management Council's (Council) Ad hoc Shoreside Whiting Alternative Group (Ad Hoc Group) will hold a work session via conference call, which is open to the public. The Ad Hoc Group will meet via teleconference Tuesday, January 2 starting at 1 p.m. until business is completed.
The primary purpose of the meeting is to develop an additional analytical alternative in support of the Council's goal to create a regulatory structure that ensures maximum retention of catch and appropriate monitoring for the West Coast shoreside Pacific whiting fishery. This alternative would be a hybrid of alternatives already adopted in November 2006 by the Council for analysis; it will combine elements of the observer-based alternative and the electronic monitoring system-based alternative. The new alternative developed by the Ad Hoc Group is scheduled be considered by the Council at its March 4-9, 2007 meeting in Sacramento, California.
