An LLP license is held by a person, and not by a vessel. NOAA Fisheries requires license owners to assign a vessel to the license before it can be used in a fishery subject to the LLP. Licenses may be transferred to a different vessel or owner once per calendar year (Jan 1- Dec 31). The LLP license must be physically on board the vessel when it is engaged in activities authorized by the license. Area Endorsements – Each license carries one or more area endorsements authorizing entry into fisheries in those management areas (Bering Sea, Aleutian Islands, Western GOA, Central GOA, and Southeast). For purposes of the LLP, the Central GOA area endorsement also allows vessels to fish in West Yakutat. Gear Designation- Each license carries a non-trawl and/or trawl gear designation which authorizes the license to fish using the designated gear type. Landing – For purposes of this analysis, a catcher vessel landing includes Pacific cod landed during one calendar day in the directed Pacific cod fishery. State waters and IFQ catch is not counted toward qualifying catch. Catcher vessel harvests are based upon ADFG Fish tickets. A catcher processor landing includes any groundfish landed during a one week interval, because catcher processor landings are based upon Blend and Catch Accounting data and are only specific to a week ending date. Catcher processors are also credited with landings made while fishing as a catcher vessel.
