March 2019 Update

SMAST provides report of fishermen workshops and recommendations for fisheries surveys and monitoring.  The report’s recommendations are based on input from commercial fishermen, regulators, and academics.  Key recommendations are for a committee of fishermen to provide on-going input into the fisheries survey process, and for a “modular and nested” design to integrate studies across projects, phases of projects, and with existing regional studies programs such as NEAMAP.
