The fishery is cost-shared between government and industry. The industry currently funds
DFO fisheries management staff salaries, DFO fisheries management staff overtime, DFO
fisheries management staff travel, DFO computer programming, and departmental
equipment purchases ($108,000). The industry contracts with third party service providers
for a dockside monitoring program (100% of landings) and an at-sea monitoring program
(100% of sea days). The industry also funds various rockfish science initiatives ($485,000
in 2006). Halibut vessel owners also pay another $1.3 million in licence application fees to
DFO for the privilege of accessing the halibut resource.
