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.

On the basis of a recommendation of the ASMFC Committee on Economics and Social Sciences, a short workshop to discuss the potential for using bioeconomic models to improve the information provided to Commission members as they make management decisions was held July 23-25, 2002. The objective of the meeting was to collect biological and economic data on the striped bass fishery and apply it to a simulation model developed by Lee Anderson to provide a real world example of how to build a bioeconomic model and to demonstrate what kind of results are possible.
