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.

This paper will first highlight the federal legal mandates that guide managers to consider cumulative impacts. There is then a discussion of the socioeconomic factors that affect fishing communities, followed by a discussion of seasonal closures and their impact on the fisheries. Two case studies are provided to highlight how these issues have played out. Lastly, implications of cumulative impacts of seasonal closures for consideration by fisheries managers are examined.
