National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA)/National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), the
International Pacific Halibut Commission, and the State of
Alaska/Department of Fish and Game jointly manage the sport charter
halibut fisheries in the Gulf of Alaska. This information
collection is necessary to monitor and enforce the area specific
annual catch limits among Pacific halibut fishery participants in
the waters in and off of the coast of Alaska. A specified guideline
harvest level serves as a benchmark for monitoring the guided sport
charter vessel fishery relative to the commercial and other
recreational halibut fisheries. The information collected will be
used to ensure that the guideline harvest level is not
exceeded.
