Programs described in its return (1)
- The Bering Sea Crab Cooperative (TBSCC) requires members to report their catch on a contemporaneous basis. TBSCC monitors the members' catch to determine that the catch complies with the Cooperative IFQ permit. TBSCC assists members with complying with their individual IFQ compliance issues.This benefits the members by having TBSCC process the paperwork for compliance. The NMFS also benefits because TBSCC monitors compliance which reduces the NMFS's paperwork and compliance efforts.TBSCC monitors transfers of quota shares among members. This benefits members and the NMFS in that TBSCC is able to provide current membership and IFQ ownership data.TBSCC computes and distributes funds to members, so that each member receives the same amount per pound.
