The Marine RecreationalFisheries Statistics Program team provides essential marine recreational fisheriesinformation to government, scientists, and the public. The team of fisheries biologists,statisticians, and data managers provides accurate, precise, and timely fisheriesdependentinformation for US marine waters by conducting and evaluating the MarineRecreational Fisheries Statistics Survey (MRFSS) to produce catch, effort andparticipation estimates, and to provide biological, social and economic data, ensuringquality control and quality assurance of the MRFSS, researching new survey designs,providing statistical advice and promoting quality recreational fisheries informationwithin NMFS and to other natural resource management agencies and organizations,participating in NMFS planning efforts to improve internal fisheries-dependent datacollection and management, participating in coastal State/Federal efforts to plan andimplement coordinated and cooperative recreational fisheries data collection andmanagement programs, communicating survey and research results, and educating thepublic about the survey and new research.116.

In depth report on the performance offour U.S. ITQs based on requests from Congress, resulting in recommendations to liftthe then moratorium on ITQs. Individual fishing quotas have been used worldwidesince the late 1970s. A few countries, particularly Canada, New Zealand, and Iceland,have significant experience in the benefits and problems of developing, implementing,and managing IFQs. This tool has been adopted in four U.S. fisheries (Alaskan halibutand sablefish, wreckfish, and surf clams/ocean quahogs), and programs were about tobe implemented in two other fisheries when Congress intervened through enactment ofthe Sustainable Fisheries Act of 1996, establishing a moratorium on new programs.- 20 -
