Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska FMP


This Fisheries Management Plan includes includes the major groundfish target species except for a few that are managed by the State of Alaska. Many management measures mirror the BSAI groundfish FMP.

 The Council revised its BSAI and GOA groundfish management policy in 2004. The policy contains a management approach and 45 objectives, which are categorized by goal statements.

The Council adopted a workplan of priority actions to implement the management policy. The status of this workplan is updated at every meeting, and presented under the Staff Tasking agenda item.
