Sustainable Fisheries Division
Fishery Management
The Sustainable Fisheries Division fishery management program supports the region's fisheries through the development, evaluation, and implementation of fishery policy and legislation. Program staff provides guidance to the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council in developing fishery management plans, ensuring that plans are supported by required analyses, and are consistent with all applicable laws. Staff members coordinate and administer the processing of proposed and final regulations to implement fishery management plans that are approved by the Secretary of Commerce.
