The Programmatic Evaluation initiated by the Council in June 2023 will revisit the management policies, goals, and objectives for all of the Council's federally managed fisheries in the Bering Sea, Aleutian Islands, and Gulf of Alaska. Through this process, the Council will consider whether and how its management approach should be updated and revised in consideration of current environmental variability and the ability of the management framework to respond to such change. The Council will next discuss the Programmatic Evaluation at its April 2025 meeting, March 31-April 7, 2025, in Anchorage, AK. More information on upcoming meetings is available at

This webinar is intended as an additional resource to help interested members of the public understand the materials related to the Programmatic Evaluation which were prepared by staff. The Programmatic Evaluation will be an agenda topic at the upcoming April Council meeting with opportunities for public input. The webinar will include an orientation to the Programmatic Evaluation discussion materials, and time for clarifying questions. This webinar will be
