Northern Panel

Created in 1985 as one of the original three Panels, the Northern Panel deals with issues concerning stocks which originate in waters off Alaska and Northern BC including assessing compliance in Northern Boundary Area fisheries and reviewing harvest calculations.

Specifically, the Panel has responsibility for salmon originating in rivers with mouths entering the Pacific Ocean between Cape Suckling in Alaska and Cape Caution in British Columbia. The Panel is supported by the Northern Boundary Technical Committee and the Chinook Technical Committee.
