NOAA Fisheries Strategic Plan
PRODUCING MEASURABLE RESULTS FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
We at NOAA Fisheries take seriously our stewardship responsibilities and our obligation to use the resources Congress provides us in the most efficient and effective way possible. The American public has a right to hold us accountable and to demand results. Although the conservation and management of living marine resources is often difficult because of uncertainties, uncontrollable events, and insufficient knowledge, we have learned a great deal in our 125-year history of research and management of the nation’s living marine resources. We believe we must have a significant impact on maintaining and restoring their health.
Herein we describe our objectives and performance measures, results that citizens can expect to see within 5 years. We have worked collaboratively to produce this plan, involving many of our employees and interested members of the public. The results we describe are important and valuable to the American people, and are achievable in the projected time frame.
