STRENGTHENING ALASKA’S FISHING COMMUNITIES AMIDST A GULF OF ALASKA CATCH SHARE PROGRAM Presentation to the House Fisheries Committee March 6, 2014 Community Fishing Associations

AMCC Presentation Overview 1.Context: Gulf of Alaska Bycatch Management Program; 2.Lessons learned from past programs; 3.What is a CFA? 4.How a CFA can help protect Alaska’s communities in a Gulf of Alaska catch share program; 5.Next steps.

Background: Gulf of Alaska Bycatch Management Program The North Pacific Fishery Management Council (NPFMC) is in the process of designing a Gulf of Alaska bycatch management program: Declines in Chinook salmon, halibut and Tanner crab have made bycatch reduction imperative; Focus of the bycatch management program is giving the trawl fleet “tools” to reduce bycatch; Program development to date indicates this is likely to be a “catch share” or “rationalization” program.

Lessons Learned from Past Catch Share Programs Impacts can include: absentee ownership of quota high leasing fees rapid vessel consolidation consolidation of quota ownership lower crew pay and job loss out-migration of fishing rights and wealth from rural communities

What is a CFA? Community Fishing Associations (CFAs) are a tool for protecting communities within catch share programs; Successful examples in Cape Cod, Morro Bay, developing nationwide; Direct allocations to fishing communities were authorized in the 2006 reauthorization of the Magnuson- Stevens Act; CFA Model: The CFA is allocated quota, then leases it to current participants and new entrants based on criteria developed by the CFA.

How a CFA Can Protect Communities in a GOA Catch Share Program 1. CFAs effectively anchor quota to communities in perpetuity. No other tool ensures that the quota itself remains in the community.

How a CFA Can Protect Communities in a GOA Catch Share Program 2. CFAs support new generations of fishermen, including crew and new entrants. CFAs can provide fishermen with an opportunity to enter into the fishery, providing access for coastal Alaska communities.

How a CFA Can Protect Communities in a GOA Catch Share Program 3. Initial allocation of quota to CFAs amplifies community benefits. Initial allocation of fishing quota to communities via the CFA will advance community protections as the community works to maintain and build strong, local businesses.

How a CFA Can Protect Communities in a GOA Catch Share Program 4. CFAs provide for community involvement and diversity within decision-making. By providing ownership in the resource, CFAs ensure that community values are reflected in decision-making.

Next Steps April 2014: NPFMC developing options for analysis for Gulf of Alaska management program; CFAs are not part of the current set of options – the State of Alaska and the NPFMC need to hear that Alaskans want an allocation to CFAs to be included in the options for an analysis.

Conclusion A CFA presents an opportunity to ensure that coastal communities retain the ability to access the fisheries outside their front doors; This option needs to be included for analysis, and it should be supported by the State of Alaska: CFAs are good for Alaska and Alaskans.
