Proposed Recreational GROUNDFISH Fishery Management Measures 2007-08

Responding to yelloweye rockfish bycatch during whiting season:

• Action Alternative 1a:

• 48% of all 2005 angler trips out of Newport were for groundfish.

• Represents a 20% loss of all angler trips.

• Approximate 20% loss of launch revenue, recreational moorage fees - both long and short term, charter lease fees, and RV Park income.

• Equates to 15% loss of revenue to our total annual budget, nearly $344,000.

• Action Alternative 1b

• Potentially greater impact with reductions to the recreational HALIBUT catch and further reduced time on the water.
