NPFMC - Council & SSC Meetings

The North Pacific Fishery Management Council (NPFMC) is a federal advisory body responsible for managing fisheries in federal waters off Alaska (3-200 nm). Established by the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act in 1976, the NPFMC develops fishery management measures that prevent overfishing, promote sustainable fishing practices, and support fishing communities. Council decisions are informed by scientific analysis and public input from stakeholders, including fishermen, tribal representatives, industry members, and conservation organizations.
