Body
BACKGROUND:
Amendment 80, implemented in 2008, enabled the formation of fishery cooperatives for non-AFA trawl catcher processors. As part of the Amendment 80 program developed by the Council and section 303(A) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA), a 5-year review of the Amendment 80 program is required to determine progress in meeting the goals of the program and the MSA. A draft work-plan of the 5-year review is attached. The draft work-plan summarizes the specific requirements that a 5-year review be developed, possible issues to examine, and an annotated table of contents of the review. At this meeting, the Council may provide further direction to the analysts on contents of the 5-year review.
