3. strengthen its efforts to work with other jurisdictions, both domestic 

 and international, to manage stocks of fish over their entire range. 



This goal will address: (1) a strong commitment to conclude fair and 

 equitable treaties with Canada and Mexico; (2) coordination with the 

 states. Treaty Tribes, and other user groups to reach full agreement 

 on management plans and to strengthen the resolve of all parties to 

 implement such plans; and (3) effective coordination with the North 

 Pacific Fishery Management Council (NPFMC), international management 

 bodies, the State of Alaska, and Canada concerning interjurisdictional 

 stocks. 



4. Strongly support development of concepts and practices for management 

 of mixed stock and multi-species complexes and rebuilding those complexes 

 in a manner that economic and allocation objectives of the Council 

 can be best met. 



5. Support additional data collection and analyses which will improve 

 the basis for management measures. 



As a strategy, particularly important in these days of inadequate 

 research and survey funds, the Council will encourage the use of fishing 

 vessels for data gathering. Data collection and analysis will include 

 information that makes possible the evaluation of fishery regulations. 



6. Develop management measures which constrain incidental catches of fish 

 and other animals within acceptable limits while harvesting target 

 species.

2. Achieve full utilization of U.S. fishery resources by U.S. citizens.
