The Chinook Economic Data Report (EDR) Program would provide information to the analysts and the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council (Council) for determining the effectiveness of Amendment 91 to the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area Fishery Management Plan. The Chinook EDR Program will evaluate the effectiveness of the Incentive Plan Agreement (IPA) incentives, the prohibited species catch (PSC) limits, and the performance standard in terms of minimizing Chinook salmon bycatch in times of high and low levels of salmon abundance, and will evaluate how Amendment 91 affects where, when, and how pollock fishing and salmon bycatch occur. The data collection program would also provide data for National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the Council to study and verify conclusions drawn by industry in the IPA annual reports.
