Northeast Groundfish

The fishery management plan governing the groundfishery in federal waters off the northeastern United States is developed through the New England Fishery Management Council in cooperation with NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service. The plan measures are implemented by the NMFS Northeast Regional Office.

The NMFS Northeast Fisheries Science Center conducts substantial research and analyses important for evaluating groundfish stock and fishery conditions.
