 NOAA Fisheries researchers in the Northeast are pioneering ways of integrating science into fishery management on an ecosystem, rather than single species, scale. We recently released our regional implementation plan for moving toward more holistic management of our fisheries resources. The plan includes explicit evaluation of trade-offs during management decisions, ultimately aimed at providing stable and resilient fisheries, fishing communities, and ocean ecosystems. Recent outcomes of this effort include the Mid-Atlantic and New England State of the Ecosystem reports, which highlight the important role our ecosystems play in support of sustainable fisheries. |
