Comment 79: The IPHC does not view this as a conservation issue. The IPHC would never allow an overharvest of the Total CEY if there were a conservation issue. It should be very clear that due to the conservative nature of IPHC harvest calculations, overharvest of the Total CEY by 60 to 85 percent is possible without resulting in a conservation issue. The proposed rule deals with a pure allocation issue and does not present any resource conservation questions

On Saturday, Oct. 4, the NPFMC voted 10 to 1 to adopt a catch sharing plan (CSP) to allocate halibut between commercial fishermen and guided recreational anglers in Southeast and Southcentral Alaska.
Just one more example of screw those who are not represented. A guided sport-fisherman has a lone voice at the council thus the 10 to 1 vote. Should the council have had an ounce of unbiased opinion perhaps 7-4 vote or something close would make sense. However when there are 10 bought and paid for votes at the council then a lopsided vote is likely. If it were based on fairness then a closer vote is surely inevitable.
When it comes to writing the secretary of commerce make sure he knows the make up of the council and just how unfair the process is to the sport fisherman.
