The North Pacific Fishery Management Council is one of the eight U.S. Regional Fishery Management Councils established in 1976 under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. They are responsible for developing fishery management plans to prevent overfishing, rebuild fish stocks, and promote the long-term health and stability of U.S. fisheries in the North Pacific region.
Through a transparent, collaborative, and science-based process, the Council makes management decisions to conserve and manage fishery resources in federal waters. They work towards the goal of sustainable fishing practices and the protection of marine ecosystems in the North Pacific.
