NPFMC/IPHC Workshop on Halibut Ecology and Bycatch Issues
International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC) and the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (NPFMC) |
In April 2012, Dr. Raab facilitated a public workshop in Seattle, Washington to examine several issues related to Pacific halibut ecology and bycatch. The two-day workshop was jointly sponsored by the International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC) and the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (NPFMC). The first day consisted of a series of presentations by staffs of IPHC, the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and independent scientists and fishing industry representatives on topics related to bycatch estimation, management, and its effects on halibut harvest strategy, as well as halibut growth and migration. The second day was focused on discussions of the previous day’s topics by a science panel, and included public testimony and participation.
