This action is necessary to establish harvest limits for groundfish during the 2022 and 2023 fishing years and to accomplish the goals and objectives of the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska. The 2022 harvest specifications supersede those previously set in the final 2021 and 2022 harvest specifications, and the 2023 harvest specifications will be superseded in early 2023 when the final 2023 and 2024 harvest specifications are published. The intended effect of this action is to conserve and manage the groundfish resources in the GOA in accordance with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act). https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/12/06/2021-26221/fisheries-of-the-exclusive-economic-zone-off-alaska-gulf-of-alaska-proposed-2022-and-2023-harvest FYI’s Pacific Hake/Whiting Treaty: JMC Meeting (Dec. 15) NOAA Fisheries sent this bulletin at 12/03/2021 01:27 PM EST United States and Canada Pacific Hake/ Whiting Agreement Joint Technical Committee Meeting The Joint Technical Committee (JTC), created under the Pacific Hake/Whiting Treaty between the Governments of the United States and Canada, will meet by webinar-only on December 15, 2021 to prepare for the 2022 Pacific hake/whiting stock assessment.
