The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has released standard ex-vessel prices for groundfish and halibut under the North Pacific Observer Program. These prices will be used to calculate fees for landings made in 2025. This program helps fund observer coverage for the fishery, which collects data important for managing and conserving fishery resources. Shipowners and processors will receive invoices in early 2026 and must pay the fees by mid-February of the same year.
Simple Explanation
The National Marine Fisheries Service decided how much money fishermen need to pay to help watch over fish-finding activities in 2025. Fishermen and fish processors will get a bill in early 2026 and must pay by February that year.
