All depth halibut fishing to close in Marine 2
Action: Close the all-depth recreational halibut fishery in Marine Area 2 (Westport). The nearshore area will remain open seven days per week until further notice.
Effective date: Immediately
Species affected: Pacific halibut
Location: Marine Area 2
Reason for action: The Marine Area 2 recreational halibut fishery has taken the Pacific halibut quota set aside for the all depth fishery. There are not enough quota pounds remaining for another day. There is sufficient quota set aside to allow fishing in the Marine Area 2 Nearshore Area until further notice. This rule conforms to federal action taken by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC).
