Red Sea Urchin Fishery - Pacific Region

The Pacific Region Red Sea Urchin Integrated Fisheries Management Plan is updated yearly and encompasses the period of August 1 to July 31. The plan is written as an Integrated Fisheries Management Plan (IFMP), a format that gives a wider context to the management of the fisheries. The Red Sea Urchin commercial, aboriginal and recreational harvest plans are attached as Appendices to the IFMP.
