National Marine Fisheries Service (1997). "Strategic Plan for Fisheries
Research." National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S.
Department of Commerce, Silver Spring, Maryland, October, 40 pp.
The scope of this document includes fisheries, habitat, protected
species, and utilization research to address requirements of the Magnuson-
Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSFCMA). This plan covers
what NMFS does now and how to improve it. It relies primarily on the current
NMFS budget and strives to maximize benefits.

Trawl Bycatch Program. Draft report, National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, October, 61 pp.
The NMFS and others have determined that a number of finfish resources
in the Gulf of Mexico and south Atlantic are depleted for several reasons,
including the application of too much fishing effort by commercial and
recreational fishermen and the incidental bycatch of the shrimp trawl fleet.
The ensuing debate about how best to restore the stocks to desirable levels
involves numerous technological, political, biological, and economic factors.
Among them are: 1) technological interaction in which shrimp gear
inadvertently harvests finfish; 2) management interaction between the shrimp
and other FMPs governing the harvest of finfish species; 3) competition
between commercial and recreational fishermen and among fishermen with
different gear types within each group; 4) economic trade-offs over time among
various harvesting groups and between different groups of consumers; 5) the
current uncertainty regarding whether or not the commercial management
structure will allow for an ITQ or similar management system; 6) a lack of
current biological information to determine the desirable size of some of the
finfish stocks and future yields; and 7) whether or not effort controls will
be placed on the recreational fishery. For all these reasons, the interaction
between the shrimp and finfish fisheries of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico
constitutes a management and economics problem that is controversial,
challenging, and, as yet unresolved in the case of most southeast finfish
stocks.
