2019 Norton Sound Red King Crab

• ADF&G Spend Plan – 2019 Norton Sound Red King Crab Disaster – May 8th, 2024

 

Crew member relief disbursement is scheduled for early 2025.

Due to the low return rates of crew member applications, ADF&G staff are currently discussing an alternative methodology for calculating crew payments. Without this adjustment, crew members would receive payments significantly higher than permit holders, which is not in line with typical crew contracts or settlements. Therefore, an alternative approach is under consideration. Once NOAA approves an amended spend plan, PSMFC will be able to issue relief to the 2019 Norton Sound Red King Crab crew members.
