“We’ve heard loud and clear from fishermen and processors that the core fisheries work of the agency—stock assessments, management through the regional management councils—that continues to be fundamental to the agency’s mission. But we also heard that this collaborative management of wild capture is not enough to sustain the industry in the face of these [new] challenges. We also heard a desire to increase sustainable production of both wild and farmed. A desire to put more U.S. seafood back on U.S. plates.”
