Value of Halibut

There is a lot at stake when dealing with the Halibut issue in the Bering Sea.  For every pound of halibut  there is a 1:12 ratio between Halibut directed Fishery and the Amendment 80 fleet.  

Further, and most importantly, the Amendment 80 numbers are verified by Federal Fisheries Observers; there are no observers on halibut directed fishery vessels.

Finally, don't let the halibut biomass anomoly punish a fleet "that has done everything right, in terms of bycatch reduction, reducing habitat impact, and cooperative fishing."

A fleet that supports the Coastal communities of:

• Unalaska/Dutch Harbor (year round)
• St.Paul/St.George Islands 
• Togiak (we're currently fishing here)
• Sand Point 
• Kodiak 
• Seward
• Adak

Spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a weekly basis in these ports and helping reduce the trade deficit.
