The purpose of this project was to interview persons working in commercial menhaden harvesting, specifically targeting those who work in reduction facilities in NC and VA in order to gather anthropological, sociological, and to a lesser extent, economic data appropriate for inclusion in an amendment to the Atlantic Menhaden FMP.
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.
