At the Winter Meeting, state‐specific harvest reduction analyses were presented to the Tautog Board. The Board voiced interest in an alternative harvest reduction analysis, whereby states within a region would have consistent management measures. The Technical Committee (TC) was subsequently tasked with evaluating consistent management options within the regions of Long Island Sound (LIS), New Jersey‐New York Bight (NJ‐NYB), Delaware‐Maryland‐Virginia (DelMarVa). The TC met via conference call to review the regional tasks assigned by the Tautog Board.
Fisheries Management
The Interstate Fisheries Management Program (ISFMP) serves as the core of decision-making, where species management boards establish regulations to conserve fishery resources, supported by an active participation framework. The ISFMP Policy Board oversees this, monitoring stock performance and policy implementation with representation from all member states and several federal agencies.
