Please understand the IPHC commissioners do not realize at this point that Kodiak is in possession of this information. I believe Kodiak needs to address the IPHC and specifically Mr. Balsinger, and directly ask for justification of the pending actions which would so adversely affect the economic health of our community, being there is NO scientific material to back such an action. FACTS 1. On Monday 12/27/10 a meeting took place between Bob Alverson, Executive director of Fishing Vessel owners Assoc., and Juliana Curry, Executive Director of the Petersburg Vessel Owners Assoc. It was at this meeting Ms. Curry informed Mr. Alverson that the PVOA with the help of Icicle Seafoods, through the IPHC, they intend to transfer 1 million pounds of 2011 halibut from areas 3A & 3B, (Kodiak) to 2C, (Southeast) 2. Vessel loss of 1 million pounds, (primarily to Kodiak) equates to approximately 6 million dollars to Kodiak longliners,(this is at $6.00 per pound) 3. This also equates to approximately $120,000.00 in loss to the KIB in fish tax,. 4. Over the past 2 -4 years halibut quota for SE has decreased dramatically due in part to an over fishing of approximately 3 -4 million pounds by charter boats. 5. This transfer of quota from Kodiak area to SE will allow fishermen to over fish an additional million pounds in an already over fished area, and under the same circumstances, what will they do to us next year ? ?? 6. Remember for every fish dollar that crosses our docks, the affect on our community is anywhere from 5 -7 times that dollar. For a loss of 6 million dollars in fish that could be as much as 42 million dollars loss in jobs, supplies, fuel, etc. We cannot afford this loss in this community. Louise 4 . 2 1 ,, • . ; _ - . :. :, . µ.4� . January 2011 Dear Longliner: This newsletter will bring you up-to -date on the North Pacific Council and Pacific Council activities, the IPHC proposals, activities in Washington, D.C., and markets. **Actions in Washington, D.C.** Punitive Damages Legislation. Before the November elections, this legislation was being pushed by the Trial Lawyers Association with support by Senator Reid and Senator Rockefeller. Both have taken substantial funds from the trial lawyers. This bill would have opened up vessel owners, particularly commercial fishing boat owners, to be sued for punitive damages. Currently, Federal Courts bar punitive damages for an injured crewman except for failure to provide maintenance and cure. We are told the trial lawyers have backed off and may now support legislation for punitive damages targeting oil derricks. Since this was supposed to address the Gulf of Mexico "BP Horizon" situation, this is a more acceptable approach. The previous attempt would have been disastrous for all vessel owners, so the situation is much improved since November. Codfish Co-ops. The House and Senate have both passed legislation that authorizes a single fishery cooperative for the longline catcher processor subsector in the BSAI. This will greatly add to their efficiency in vessel usage relative to resources abundance. Medicare. (Injuries for older Crew). Due to budget concerns, those in charge of Medicare (i.e. Feds) want to know when an older crewman, who is old enough to receive medical benefits, has an injury. Any long -term settlement from a lawsuit or negotiated out -of -court settlement for older crew may have to get federal government approval, with a portion of settlements offsetting future Medicare benefits of the injured crew. We have not had a problem with the Marine Safety Reserve on this but we have heard stories of lawsuits not settling because of federal intervention and demands. Federal Loan Program. The IFQ current loan program, financed with your IFQ fees, will be expanded to accommodate the crab fleet in the Bering Sea. The fees from crab, halibut, and sablefish will be co-mingled as well as loans made. Funding will likely continue in 2011 based on a continuing resolution by congress similar to last year's funding. Safety Act. John Crowley and I sat in on a Coast Guard meeting in Anchorage to discuss the new Safety Act and its impact on our vessels. We came away with a more positive feeling regarding this Act. The Act will require all vessels built after 7 -1 -2012, and longer than 50 feet to be "classed" and if longer than 79 feet, be load lined. Vessels built before 7 -1 -2012 and >50 feet will need to meet a Coast Guard "alternative compliance program." This will likely entail new classes for skippers, mandatory safety review of vessels, which most of you do already. Our biggest concern is under existing compliance programs for catcher processors very expensive structural demands have been requested by the Coast Guard. We will have another meeting with the Coast Guard on this before it affects you in 2020. We have asked for a meeting here in Seattle this spring. **IPHC** f The following are the IPHC 2011 harvest recommendations. The staff recommends a catch limit total of 41.02 million pounds for 2011, a decrease of 19% from 2010. • Page 3 . d e gib; t, .

They have changed their WPUE (Weight per Unit of Effort) by weighting the current year 75 %, the second year 20 %, and the third year 5 %. The most notable reduction is in SE Alaska, with a 47% reduction. Three years ago we asked how long it will take 2C to recover. We were told 5 years and that was three years ago. If you look at the recruitment chart below, the Commission argues the recent reductions are the result of the fleet fishing on weak year classes from 1989 through 1997.

Page 4 f 61\s- GOA Chinook Bycatch The Council identified concerns about Chinook bycatch taken incidentally in the GOA groundfish fisheries, and initiated two analyses to implement short -term and long -term salmon bycatch control measures. In the short-term, focused measures for expedited • review and rulemaking have been initiated for the GOA pollock fishery. A longer -term amendment package will address comprehensive salmon bycatch management in the GOA trawl fisheries. The detailed motion is available on the Council website, however a summary of the alternatives is as follows: Expedited western /CGOA pollock fishery analysis Alternative 1: Status quo Alternative 2: Establish a Chinook salmon PSC limit for the directed pollock fishery (hard cap, by regulatory area) and increase observer coverage on under 60 foot vessels Alternative 3: Require membership in a mandatory salmon bycatch control cooperative in order to fish in the directed pollock fishery Regular track analysis Alternative 1: Status quo Alternative 2: Establish a Chinook salmon PSC limit for the non - pollock trawl fisheries (hard cap, may be apportioned by area and /or directed fishery) Alternative 3: Require membership in a mandatory salmon bycatch control cooperative in order to fish in all western /central GOA trawl fisheries Alternative 4: Require full retention of all salmon in all western /central GOA trawl fisheries (includes an option to require electronic monitoring or observers to monitor for discards) The range of PSC limits to be analyzed for the directed pollock fishery includes 15,000, 22,500, or 30,000 fish, applied to the western /central GOA fisheries as a whole. These limits would be apportioned among regulatory areas proportional to the distribution of either pollock TAC, historic average bycatch of Chinook, or historic average bycatch rate of Chinook. In order to reduce the uncertainty associated with bycatch estimates, expanded observer coverage could be- required for under 60 foot vessels as an interim measure, until the observer program restructuring amendment is implemented. For the non - pollock fisheries, the PSC limit range to be analyzed is 5,000, 7,500, or 10,000 fish. The Council specified a number of conditions for the mandatory bycatch cooperative, including contractual requirements for full retention of salmon, bycatch control measures, salmon hotspot reporting, and monitoring of individual vessel bycatch performance. The cooperative would provide annual reports to the Council. Staff was asked to explore a number of options with respect to the mandatory cooperative, including issues with respect to thresholds for cooperative membership and appropriate contract elements and reporting requirements. Additionally, for the longer term analysis, the Council requested staff discuss several other issues, including: bycatch rate data by fishery and season, correlations between bycatch rate and time of day, flexibility to adjust pollock season dates, pollock triplimits, salmon excluder deployment in the GOA, impacts on subsistence users, and a discussion of the benefits of developing cooperative management structure for the GOA pollock fisheries. Staff contact is Diana Evans. • GOA Pcod Jig Fishery The Council reviewed a discussion paper that describes options for revising management of the GOA Pacific cod jig fishery, and passed a motion to initiate an analysis of alternative management measures for the jig fishery. The discussion paper was requested by the council as part of its December 2009 final motion on GOA Pacific cod sector allocations. The council has recently taken two actions that potentially increase opportunities for jig vessels in the GOA Pacific cod fishery by 1) exempting jig gear from the LLP requirement in the Western and Central GOA, subject to gear limits, and 2) allocating a percentage of the Western and Central GOA Pacific cod TACs to jig gear that is higher than the sectors historical catch levels, with stairstep provision to increase the allocations if they are fully harvested. The purpose of considering alternative management measures for the jig fishery is to ensure that the jig fleet has access to fully harvest both State and Federal jig allocations. The initial review analysis will consider two alternatives: 1) the status quo fishery, and 2) a reverse parallel fishery, which would open Federal waters to jig gear concurrent with the State of Alaska GHL fishery, and deduct this Federal waters catch from the State GHL allocation. The full motion is available on the Council website. Staff contact is Jeannie Heltzel. GOA Halibut Bycatch The Council reviewed a discussion paper that contained agency guidance on the process for revising halibut prohibited species catch (PSC) limits in the Gulf of Alaska. In April 2011 the Council may either 1) initiate an amendment to the GOA Groundfish FMP and set halibut PSC limits through regulations, or 2) request an analysis of halibut PSC limits in the 2011 NEPA analysis for setting groundfish harvest specifications under the FMP and use the annual specifications process to alter PSC limits. The Council may determine that the only process for guaranteeing revised PSC limits for 2012 is the current specifications process; however it may determine that it wishes to increase its management flexibility by amending the FMP and placing the determination of GOA halibut PSC limits into federal regulations, as is the current process for determining BSAI halibut PSC limits. It even could do both; i.e., revise the PSC limits for 2012 through the groundfish specifications process AND amend the GOA groundfish FMP to place GOA halibut PSC limits into regulations, thereby requiring a regulatory amendment to revise them in the future. To better understand the potential effects of halibut bycatch reductions on the condition of halibut stocks in the GOA, the Council requested additional information on the following topics to be provided at the April 2011 meeting: 1. The effect of reducing bycatch limits in the GOA on the exploitable halibut biomass available to the directed fisheries, over an appropriate time period; this includes the effects of migration on downstream users. (i.e., what is the effect of a 100 mt reduction in bycatch over a 5 year period ?). 2. The recent changes in IPHC stock assessment methods, harvest policies, and catch limit setting on directed halibut fisheries. 3. Possible causes of low growth rates and the effects on future exploitable biomass and spawning biomass. 4. Changes to federal fishery management programs and halibut PSC apportionments that begin in 2012 that are relevant to the use of halibut PSC. The Council will request that the IPHC provide the appropriate scientific expertise and information on the first three items. NMFS and Council staff will address the fourth item. The discussion paper reviewed 1) numerous issues that were identified in the FMP as necessary for setting halibut PSC limits and expanded data 2) summaries of halibut mortality in directed commercial groundfish fisheries. Staff contact for halibut management issues is Jane DiCosimo. Halibut Issues CQE Purchase of D Shares The Council reviewed an initial review draft analysis for a regulatory amendment that would allow Community Quota Entities (CQEs) representing communities in Area 3A to purchase a limited amount of D category halibut quota share in Area 3A, with specified limitations. The existing CQE Program prohibits CQEs from purchasing D category QS in Area 3A and Area 2C. CQEs, like other new entrants, have had difficulty in funding the purchase of QS since the CQE Program was implemented in 2004. Very little QS has been purchased to -date, by one CQE. Allowing CQEs to purchase the least costly category of QS, potentially from individual holders in the community that are transitioning out of the fishery, may help facilitate the purchase of QS and participation in the program. The proposed action would not affect the prohibition on purchasing D shares in Area 2C. The Council approved a purpose and need statement for the action in December, and released the analysis for public review with several revisions. Upon review of the data indicating that the majority of D category QS in Area 3A is in small blocks (less than or equal to the sweep -up limit of 46,520 QS units), the Council added a provision to Alternative 2 that would allow CQEs to purchase any size block of D category QS in Area 3A. CQEs would continue to be limited to purchasing only larger blocks of B and C category QS. The Council also requested more detailed data on the current QS holdings by residents of the fourteen Area 3A communities eligible for the CQE Program, as well as further discussion of whether CQEs would be expected to have a financial advantage in purchasing catcher vessel QS.
