Description:"NMFS is responsible for the management of Federal fishery resources. Scientific research is an important means of gathering valuable information about fish species and is necessary for making informed management decisions on these fish stocks. NMFS conducts Resource Assessment surveys to aid in the development of an index of relative abundance for fishery stock assessments in the South Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. Gear research is also conducted with the primary focus of research being the development of sea turtle and finfish bycatch mitigation measures for commercial trawl fisheries. The proposed research activities are expected to ultimately contribute to management decisions about fisheries that would potentially have positive social or economic impacts and aide in the recovery and conservation of protected species. The more data available regarding the health of these fish stocks and protected resources, the better NMFS is able maintain a productive and sustainable fishery balanced with ecosystem needs"--Purpose and need [first page of unnumbered EA].
