22nd Regular Session of the Northern Committee

NC22 will consider ISC advice related to the application of the harvest strategy, including criteria for identifying exceptional circumstances and guidance on translating fishing intensity into management measures such as catch and/or effort. The meeting will review progress in implementing elements of the harvest strategy, including interpretation of fishing intensity relative to reference points and consideration of potential management responses if thresholds are exceeded. NC22 will also consider follow-up work requested from ISC, including estimates of historical fleet impacts to inform future management considerations.
