The halibut sport fishery in Alaska is quite large. During 2009, for instance, over 440,000 halibut were harvested by sport anglers in the state. In recent years, several regulatory changes have occurred and more have been proposed that could significantly impact the sport fishery, particularly the charter boat industry that facilitates much of the halibut sport fishing trips in the state. This study aims to create a profile of the industry and understand the characteristics of the industry. In the event future actions by the federal government result in regulatory actions, laws such as NEPA and the Regulatory Flexibility Act require social and economic impacts analysis. The information obtained in this study will provide information to the agency to assist any future impact analysis that may be required.
