Sustainable Fisheries Division
Our Partners
To serve our constituents and the public, Sustainable Fisheries collaborates with other PIRO divisions, as well as:
NMFS Headquarters Office of Sustainable Fisheries
NMFS Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center
NOAA Office for Law Enforcement
Sustainable Fisheries is the primary division in Pacific Islands Regional Office (PIRO) responsible for overseeing and implementing fishery management plans for commercial and non-commercial domestic fisheries in the Pacific Islands, as authorized under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.
Sustainable Fisheries' objectives are to maintain healthy stocks, eliminate overfishing, and rebuild overfished stocks important to commercial, recreational, and subsistence fisheries. Under these objectives, the goal is to increase long-term economic and social benefits to the nation from living marine resources.
