By July 19 - Call for an Ecosystem-based Approach to Fisheries Mgmt to Rescue Fish and Fishermen

Urge the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council to approve a 5-year strategic plan that represents a positive shift toward managing the ocean in a way that recognizes it as a dynamic, interrelated system. We need to make sure the parts of the plan that protect the ecosystem as a whole are approved.

 

The council’s draft plan makes a commitment to look at the big picture through an “Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management”—a holistic, comprehensive view of the way the living ocean actually works. If the plan is approved with these ecosystem provisions, future fishery management decisions will be expected to account for predator-prey relationships, habitat impacts including nitrogen, and the numerous effects of climate change.

 

Taking an ecosystem-based management approach to forage fish rescues fishermen of predator fish that include striped bass and bluefish.
