Fisheries Management Philosophy:
Access and supply to local seafood are vital to commercial fishing operations. Conservation and management of sustainable fisheries resources are essential in providing fresh seafood, jobs, and recreational fishing opportunities. The people who depend on fisheries for their livelihoods also depend on the long-term health of our oceans.
