NMFS is opening directed fishing for Pacific cod by catcher vessels that are non-exempt under the American Fisheries Act (AFA) in the Western and Central Regulatory Areas of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). This action is necessary to allow non-exempt catcher vessels to participate in the Pacific cod fishery in these areas consistent with regulations implementing the AFA.
