SEATTLE – Following our initial announcement on 13 December 2024, the International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC) is reminding vessel owners that tenders are now being accepted for the 2025 Fishery-Independent Setline Survey (FISS). Vessel owners are invited to submit tenders based on the 2025 IPHC FISS Vessel Tender Specifications. These specifications, along with the required Vessel Tender Forms, are available on the IPHC website: Vessel Recruiting | IPHC. Details about an additional opportunity, the Catch Protection Study, can also be found at the same link.
