Fisheries Management on the West Coast
Harvest includes commercial, recreational, and tribal fishing. Ensuring our fisheries are sustainably managed is a cooperative process involving federal, state, tribal and Canadian representatives. There are different management responsibilities and mechanisms depending on which stocks are targeted, where the fishing is occurring, and who is fishing.
