Fisheries Science
Sustainable fisheries management depends on sound, timely scientific advice. The Fisheries Science Program delivers this through a rigorous, peer-reviewed stock assessment process, utilizing a mix of fishery-independent surveys and fishery-dependent monitoring, complemented by research from coastal state, federal, and academic institutions. The program also focuses on developing innovative scientific methods and enhancing state stock assessment capabilities, while coordinating and expanding collaborative research and data collection efforts.

In the New Jersey-New York Bight (NJ-NYB) region, overfishing was not occurring, but the stock was overfished, although spawning stock biomass (SSB) had increased since the previous update and was just below the SSB threshold.
