Management of the Alaska halibut fishery is based on an international agreement between Canada and the United States and is given effect by the Northern Pacific Halibut Act of 1982. Before fishing under the subsistence halibut regulations, fishermen must obtain a Subsistence Halibut Registration Certificate (SHARC). Special permits for community harvest, ceremonial, and educational purposes also are available to qualified Alaska communities and Alaska Native Tribes. Permit holders must comply with SHARC registration and reporting processes.
