Recently, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine completed a report entitled, “Data and Management Strategies for Recreational Fisheries with Annual Catch Limits” featuring a comprehensive study of NOAA Fisheries Service’s Marine Recreational Information Program (MRIP). In the report, the MRIP program is said to be critically important for fisheries management, and additional suggestions are provided for improving MRIP’s contribution to in-season management tools, projections, and fishery forecasting. For more information check out the full report below.
