Planning and Zoning Procedures RESOLUTION 91-12-03 OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF OUNA.LASHKA CORPORATION A Resolution of the Ounalashka Corporation , a village Corporation located at Unalaska, urges the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council and all other authorities to rescind its vote to implement the IFQ Program approving the Individual Transferable Quota Share Program for the Sable fish and Halibut Fisheries until an economic impact analysis of the program on the City of Unalaska and other communities of Alaska is completed and shared with the affected communities for their consideration and comment. Whereas, a number of traditional management proposals have been submitted to the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council which would potentially eliminate the problems that an Individual Fishery Quota (IFQ) would address; and Whereas, the Council's role and responsibility is to analyze all proposals on a given issue before implementing major changes to a fishery; and whereas, analysis and implementation of traditional management proposals to address the problems have not even been reviewed prior to the proposed implementation of an IFQ System; and Whereas, an IFQ System is going to take years to implement while the fisheries need extensive traditional management changes, not short --term improved management; and whereas, the ability to participate in multiple fisheries and adapt to changing economic and resource conditions are vital characteristics of the Alaska fishing industry; and Whereas, IFQ systems under consideration provide much of the resource to be allocated to non-resident users, excluding disproportionate numbers of Alaska fishermen, of which over 100 abide in Unalaska, and preclude participation by the growing Alaska longline fishing fleet; and Whereas, IFQ Systems will deny the opportunity for residents of the Municipality of Unalaska and other Alaskan communities to fully diversify and maximize their fisheries creating financial, hardships and creating economic impacts; and Whereas, IFQ Systems could accommodate offshore processors which will minimize the raw fish tax to Alaskan communities and the State.
