SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
purpose of the SSC Economics
Subcommittee meeting is to review a
comparative cost study for the West
Coast Groundfish Trawl Catch Share
Program. In 2022, NMFS provided the
Pacific Council with funds for a contract
to look more closely at catch share
fishery costs that are borne by industry
and NMFS. Pacific Council staff
engaged Mr. Darrell Brannan to conduct
the work. The cost project covers three
broad objectives: (a) documentation of
industry concerns and identifying costs
related to specific program elements, (b)
comparison of those costs to similar
catch share programs, and (c)
organization and presentation of the
information to inform future
deliberations.
No management actions will be
decided by the meeting participants.
The participants’ role will be the
development of recommendations and
reports for consideration by the SSC and
the Pacific Council. The Pacific Council
and SSC are scheduled to consider the
comparative cost study for the West
Coast Groundfish Trawl Catch Share
Program at their September 2023
meeting in Spokane, Washington.
