The National Fishing Enhancement Act of 1984 directs the Secretary of
Commerce to develop and publish a long term National Artificial Reef Plan to
promote and facilitate responsible and effective artificial reef use based on
the best scientific information available. This plan has been developed to
provide guidance or criteria on planning, siting, designing, types of
materials, constructing, and managing artificial reefs. It includes reviews
of existing information sources and discusses research needs. Other issues,
such as liability and mitigation, are introduced; these issues should be
addressed in more detail by groups of knowledgeable individuals from the
Federal, State, university, and private sectors.

Integrated Science and Management Program: Science in Support of
Management." National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,

Management Division, Silver Spring, MD.
Highly migratory species management issues are complex, multidisciplinary,
and highly sensitive. An integrated research program ensures
that the critical information for managing these fisheries will be available
for decision makers as well as constituents to evaluate the socioeconomic and
biological consequences of the various management options available. This
integrated HMS research program unites researchers in several disciplines in
the various NMFS offices, ensuring that the high priority management questions
are addressed. This expanded, integrated research program not only fits in
well with the NMFS reorganization, but also ensures that research responds to
all basic management needs and that management decisions are based on the best
possible science.
Stopher, Peter R. (1969). "A Probability Model of Travel Mode Choice
for the Work Journey." Highway Research Record, 283:57-65.
This paper describes the derivation of a probability model of travel
mode choice for the work journey in terms of the differences in costs and
times between the modes available for each individual's journey. The work is
based on surveys carried out at two offices in central London, with some test
data from a survey of workers in central Leeds. Regression techniques were
used to establish simple linear relationships between the probability of using
a car and the cost and time differences between a car and the best available
public transport route. Reasonable correlation coefficients were obtained.
Limited tests of the models have reproduced existing mode choices to a high
degree of accuracy. Relationships were also established between the
regression coefficients and income. A generalized model is derived from these
relationships. The basic model has a serious fault in that because it is
linear, it permits values of probability to be obtained that exceed unity, or
are less than zero. A logistic transformation is put forward to correct this
and is used on the generalized model. The resulting model still appears to
reproduce existing conditions to a similarly high degree of accuracy. The
model appears to be reasonably behavioral, and could form the basis of a new
and more accurate mode choice procedure.
