How many halibut may be retained under a Ceremonial Permit or Educational Permit?
Each valid Ceremonial Permit or Educational Permit authorizes harvest of a total of 25 halibut. Only 25 fish may be harvested under each permit, regardless of how many SHARC holders participate in fishing under the permit or the number of days over which fishing occurs using the permit. For instance, a skiff from Hoonah with three SHARC holders on board that also has a Ceremonial Permit on board may retain a total of 25 halibut under that permit, not 25 halibut per person on board the vessel. For more information, see table at question 31.
