WHAT IS GAF? Guided Angler Fish (“GAF”)
The Catch Sharing Plan authorizes transfers of commercial halibut individual fishing quota (IFQ)
as guided angler fish (GAF) to qualified charter halibut permit (CHP) holders for harvest by charter
vessel anglers in Areas 2C and 3A. Using GAF, CHP holders may
offer charter vessel anglers the opportunity to retain halibut up to the limit for unguided anglers
when the charter management measure in place limits charter vessel anglers to a more restrictive
harvest limit. See the following sections for more information about the GAF Program. More
information on the Catch Sharing Plan is available on NMFS’ website:
