  1. Reports of the Management Strategy Advisory Board Agenda Item 7.2 IPHC-2017-MSAB09-R IPHC-2017-MSAB10-R

  2. Management Strategy Advisory Board • 2017 Co-Chairpersons • Adam Keizer (Canada, DFO) • Rachel Baker (U.S.A., NOAA-Fisheries) • MSAB met twice in 2017 • MSAB09: 9-11 May • MSAB10: 23-26 October 94th Session of the IPHC Annual Meeting

  3. Recommendations and Requests • Objectives • Simulation framework – scenario uncertainty, management procedures, performance metrics timeframe • Program of Work: timelines 94th Session of the IPHC Annual Meeting

  4. A review of the goals and objectives of the IPHC MSE process MSAB10–Rec.01 (para. 11)The MSAB AGREED to further revise the goals, objectives, and performance metrics, as detailed at Appendix IV, at MSAB11, and also RECOMMENDED that the Commission review and provide guidance on them at the 94th Session of the Commission, thereby providing clear direction for the IPHC Secretariat and MSAB for action in 2018. 94th Session of the IPHC Annual Meeting

  5. Objectives • Maintain a minimum of number of mature female Pacific halibut coast-wide • Avoid very low stock sizes • Mostly avoid low stock sizes • When Limit < Estimated Biomass < Threshold, limit the probability of declines 94th Session of the IPHC Annual Meeting

  6. Objectives • Maintain directed fishing opportunity • Maximize yield in each regulatory area • Maintain median catch • Maintain average catch • Limit annual changes in TAC, coast-wide and/or by Regulatory Area • Minimize discard mortality in the longline fishery 94th Session of the IPHC Annual Meeting

  7. Discussion of the performance metrics reported MSAB10–Rec.02 (para. 32)The MSAB RECOMMENDED that future iterations of the simulations focus on the reduced range of SPR targets (greater than 40%, less than 55%) based on preliminary interpretation of results, and that 2% intervals between SPR values is sufficient to interpret future results. 94th Session of the IPHC Annual Meeting

  8. MSAB Program of Work 2018-22 MSAB10–Rec.03 (para. 41)The MSAB RECOMMENDED the updated Program of Work provided at Appendix VI, for the Commission’s further consideration. 94th Session of the IPHC Annual Meeting

  9. 3 year schedule 94th Session of the IPHC Annual Meeting

  10. Recommendations x3 A review of the goals and objectives of the IPHC MSE process MSAB10–Rec.01 (para. 11) The MSAB AGREED to further revise the goals, objectives, and performance metrics, as detailed at Appendix IV, at MSAB11, and also RECOMMENDED that the Commission review and provide guidance on them at the 94th Session of the Commission, thereby providing clear direction for the IPHC Secretariat and MSAB for action in 2018. 94th Session of the IPHC Annual Meeting

  13. Requests x 7 (3 areas) • IPHC meetings calendar (2018-20): MSAB • Performance metrics • Connecting to fishery objectives • Time periods for evaluation • Simulation framework • Interim coast-wide model • Variability and examining additional management procedures to evaluate fishing intensity 94th Session of the IPHC Annual Meeting
