Concerning coastal Dungeness crab resource plan provisions.
AN ACT
Relating to the consideration of extenuating circumstances for gear and effort
reduction for the coastal Dungeness crab resource plan provisions; amending RCW
77.70.400; and creating a new section.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE
OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
Sec.
1. RCW
77.70.400 and 1998 c 245 s 154 are each amended to read as follows:
The
department, with input from Dungeness crab‑-coastal fishery licensees and
processors, shall prepare a resource plan to achieve even-flow harvesting and
long-term stability of the coastal Dungeness crab resource. The plan may
include pot limits, further reduction in the number of vessels, individual
quotas, trip limits, area quotas, or other measures as determined by the
department. The provisions of such a resource plan that are designed to
effect a gear reduction or effort reduction based upon historical landing
criteria are subject to the provisions of RCW 77.70.390 with respect to the
consideration of extenuating circumstances.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. For the purposes of
determining the number of shellfish pots assigned to a license authorizing commercial
harvest of Dungeness crab adjacent to the Washington coast, if the license is
held by a person whose vessel designated for use under that license was lost
due to sinking in any one of the three qualifying seasons, then the department
of fish and wildlife shall use the landings in February 1996 to determine the
number of pots granted to the license holder as an exception to WAC
220-52-040(14). A license holder must notify the department of his or her
eligibility under this section by September 30, 2001.
