From the transcript
Okay, Madam Chair, I'll move on to the next motion. So the next, the third motion I'm highlighting here is in consideration of Kodiak Tanner crab. In June of this year, the council modified alternatives for management measures to protect Gulf of Alaska Tanner crab around Kodiak Island and requested a second initial review analysis process for return for further consideration. The council's objective with this action is to further conserve and protect Tanner crab around Kodiak while minimizing negative impacts on groundfish fisheries, as both crab and groundfish fisheries are important to harvesting, processing, and support sectors in the community of Kodiak. Um, the June motion is linked.
