Protect Tanner Crab
The North Pacific Fishery Management Council will meet March 31 - April 7, 2025 for a virtual-only web conference. At this meeting, Council members will discuss protections for Kodiak District Tanner crab. If you are a Tanner crab fisherman or fishing family concerned about bycatch of Tanner crabs in federal groundfish fisheries, please write a comment letter and/or testify to protect Tanner crabs and their critical habitat by March 28, 2025 at noon, and encourage your fellow crabbers to do the same!
Help Defend Pacific Halibut
Last February, AMCC joined the Halibut Defense Alliance to help defend Bering Sea halibut bycatch limits in court. On November 8, 2024, the U.S. District Court upheld Amendment 123, a decision that protects abundance-based bycatch limits and supports halibut users, fishing families and halibut-dependent communities across Alaska. While this ruling is a big step forward, there’s still work to do—we’re closing in on the remaining $40,000 needed to see this effort through. Please help us get over the finish line!
