1982-1985 Fishery Management
In 1984, set tight fishery controls:– Trawl permits limited to 5 at a time
• Areas < 50 fathoms• Trip limits; short permit duration; renewable
– Midwater trawl permits limited to 3• Areas > 50 fathoms
– Seine and lampara gear also allowed
In 1985, held public meetings, loosened controls and set harvest guideline

Squid Harvest Guideline Rule
ODFW is required to hold a public hearing to evaluate the fishery:
Prior to reaching a harvest of 4.5 million pounds of squid, with not more than 3 million pounds taken north or south of Heceta Head.

2016 Fishery Management
• Public meeting to evaluate the fishery (May 11, 2016)
• Public input: concerns over potential bycatch
• Temporary rule with bycatch allowances:– Increased smelt allowance up to 10% by weight– Allow select species within the Cape Perpetua
Seabird Protection Area up to 10% in aggregate
• Permanent rules for CPS, including squid21

2018 Fishery Management
• Public meeting to evaluate the fishery (May 31, 2018)
• Public input: concerns over potential bycatch, interactions with crab gear, effects of lights on seabirds
• No rulemaking or changes
22
![Page 23: Commercial Nearshore Fishery · Commercial Market Squid Fishery Public Meeting May 16, 2019 Newport, Oregon 1 Troy Buell Greg Krutzikowsky Maggie Sommer](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042105/5e84361861ab7e7bf6455ccb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Issues and Concerns
• Squid Resource• Bycatch of Other Species• Bottom Impacts• Fishery Conflicts• Fishing Locations • Reporting Landed Bycatch• Restricted Participation• Others?

![Page 24: Commercial Nearshore Fishery · Commercial Market Squid Fishery Public Meeting May 16, 2019 Newport, Oregon 1 Troy Buell Greg Krutzikowsky Maggie Sommer](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042105/5e84361861ab7e7bf6455ccb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Restricted Participation (a.k.a. Limited Entry)
• ODFW received a wide variety of input:– Support for restricting participation based on
landings history– Support for open access, especially for smaller
vessels or less efficient gear (brail, hook & line)
– Concern for potential number of vessels, crowding under continued open access
– Concern about limiting access for local or resident vessels
24
![Page 25: Commercial Nearshore Fishery · Commercial Market Squid Fishery Public Meeting May 16, 2019 Newport, Oregon 1 Troy Buell Greg Krutzikowsky Maggie Sommer](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042105/5e84361861ab7e7bf6455ccb/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Crab Pot Interactions
• Loss and movement of crab pots due to squid fishery reported in 2018 and 2019
• Oregon has strong laws that protect crab gear as personal property– Illegal for anyone other than the crab
permitted vessel to retrieve, move, or tamper with actively fished crab pots
• ODFW asked squid fleet notify crabbers and avoid conflict voluntarily, but interaction reports continue

Public Comment Opportunities
• During meeting tonight
• Written comments to Troy Buell, ODFW in Newport
• Written or in person testimony given at any Commission meeting– 2019-2020 sardine fishery management is on
their June 6 agenda, in Salem

Next Steps
• Continue to evaluate the fishery:– Monitor the fishery– Sample landings– Assist with compliance
• Recommend management actions, if needed– Additional public process for major changes
such as restricted participation
