The Shorebird Advisory Panel (AP) met via conference call on November 30, 2011, to review the Draft Addendum VII to the Horseshoe Crab Fishery Management Plan. The AP agreed that the best option for management of the horseshoe crab bait fishery was to move forward with implementing the Adaptive Resource Management (ARM) Framework, Option 3.
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.
