Sector Allocation Programs and Harvest Cooperatives - Sector allocation programs and cooperatives are very similar. Both are management strategies external to those included under Limited Access Privileges as defined in the reauthorized Magnuson-Stevens Act. Sector allocation programs have been used in the Northeastern U.S. and have been defined as a group of persons who have voluntarily entered into a contract and agree to certain fishing restrictions for a specified period of time and which has been granted a TAC(s) in order to achieve objectives consistent with applicable FMP goals and objectives. Generally, quota is allocated to a sector or sectors based on aggregate catch histories of harvested stocks for vessels participating in the sector. Sector allocations are regulated through the regional Councils. Typically, the Council will require the sector to submit a management plan each year specifying how the sector’s portion of the total TAC will be fished. While sectors sometimes consist of people using the same gear, this does not have to be the case. Sectors are often allowed to act as harvest cooperatives by coordinating their harvest activities.
