The cooperative management structure, originally implemented by the American Fisheries Act (AFA), has shifted more of the monitoring and enforcement burden to the cooperatives and their members; and has allowed NMFS to manage the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area (BSAI) pollock fishery more precisely. With the flexibility provided by cooperatives, vessels are able to individually (and in aggregate) come very close to harvesting exactly the amount of pollock they were allocated. Allocations of pollock and other species have allowed the AFA fleet the ability to spread their effort in time and space to accommodate Steller Sea Lion conservation measures. This revision provides an additional tool for the cooperatives of the BSAI: "Chinook Salmon PSC Incentive Plan Agreement (IPA)." The IPA will be a tool to lower Chinook salmon bycatch in the pollock fisheries.
