SOLUTION

Proactive–Explicitly address uncertainty

Reactive–Explicitly, implicitly address

uncertainty–Avoid “over-reacting”

DOCUMENT STRUCTURE

Proactive–ACT Alternatives (1A-1D)– In-Season Closure Authority

(2A-2C) Reactive

–Triggers (3A-3D)–Management Response

(4A-4D)–Payback Calculation

(5A-5E)

Response Alternatives

Monitoring:

If a recreational overage has been determined to have occurred, [as in §648.X] the following year's landings would be monitored in-season for persistence in increased landings. The RA will publish a notice to reduce the length of the fishing season as necessary.


Bag, Size, Season:

If a recreational overage has been determined to have occurred [as in §648.X], the [species Monitoring Committee or RA ?] shall develop measures to prevent a subsequent overage.


Bag, Size, Season:

Is this an AM?


Bag, Size, Season:

the current process of adjusting recreational management measures (i.e., fish size, season, and possession limit) each year would not, in and of itself, be a fully consistent accountability measure because the process requires analysis and Council deliberation


Bag, Size, Season:

Occurs along with …

1. In Season Closure Authority

2. Risk Policy

3. Responsive to overages


Payback:

If a recreational overage has been determined to have occurred [as in §648.X], a deduction [as in §648.X] will be made as soon as possible, from a subsequent single fishing year recreational ACT.
