NMFS and the North Pacific Fishery Management Council have prepared a Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Fishery Management Plan for the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) King and Tanner Crabs. The proposed action was to rationalize the BSAI crab fisheries by allocating harvesting and processing privileges to participants. The EIS examines the effects of the proposed action, and alternatives to the proposed action, on the human environment. More information >>>.
