NOAA has rejected a petition from crab fishermen to bar all commercial fishing for six months in an area of the Bering Sea designated as a special protective zone for red king crab, which have suffered a population crash. Via AlaskaBeacon
Specifically, it did not show that such action “would address the low abundance and declining trend of mature female Bristol Bay red king crab,” the statement said. “The immediate benefits of emergency rulemaking in this case do not outweigh the value of advance notice, public comment, and deliberative consideration of the impacts on participants under the normal rulemaking process.”
The crab harvesters’ group argued that those fisheries that are conducted in the area are damaging crabs and their habitat. The allowed harvests are causing fishing gear to touch the seafloor and harm crabs when they are in their sensitive molting and reproductive phases, the harvesters’ group argued., the Alaska Bering Sea Crabbers said its members are “dismayed and disappointed” at the denial.“We have science and data proving this action would help crab at a time when the stock needs it.
