These data represent a working draft of recreational fish landings in Washington State for Pacific halibut species and closure areas for the fishery. The data were created by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife in 2014 from available landing and management information. Small group discussions with halibut fishermen in 2015 confirmed the location and catch effort intensities for these data at the time of collection. Activities from coastal treaty tribes are not included. |
