2020 GOA Pacific Cod
Vessel Captains & Crew Members Only

Due to a spend plan amendment request submitted by the Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game (ADF&G) to clarify inconsistencies related to captain and crew member qualifications, e.g.  1.) two of four years (2016-2019)  VS 2.) three of five years (2015-2019) PSMFC is required to resubmit this spend plan to federal agencies for review. Due to this necessary submission,  we are uncertain when applications will be made available related to 2020 GOA Pacific cod Captains and Crew Members.
