Harvest Strategy Policy
The following IPHC Harvest Strategy Policy is a Draft document based on an amalgamation of current IPHC practices and best practices in harvest strategy policy. It is not intended to be a definitive policy, noting that the IPHC is yet to adopt a formal harvest strategy for Pacific halibut. It is expected that over the coming two years, the IPHC will develop and implement a harvest strategy, and that this policy document will then be updated accordingly. The IPHC Harvest Strategy Policy will provide a framework for applying a rigorous science-based approach to setting harvest levels for Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) within the Convention Area.
