There is a program called SeaShare where in 2014 app. 59,000 lbs. of halibut is delivered to BSAI and GOA ports from a portion of halibut by-catch. This is a similar amount of poundage to the 2017 Puget Sound sport angler allocation of 64,962 pound of halibut.

Both of these poundage’s represents a drop in a bucket and both could use major increases in coming years.
