Description:Since 1991, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has held five national workshops devoted to examining issues of contemporary interest in stock assessment. These workshops have become an important venue for NMFS scientists to exchange ideas of direct relevance to NOAA’s mission and, more importantly, to focus efforts on problems of national interest such as bycatch or uncertainty and risk estimation in stock assessments. The fifth National Stock Assessment Workshop (NSAW) focused primarily on the theme “Providing Scientific Advice to Implement the Precautionary Approach Under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSFCMA)1.” In order to convey the importance of this theme in the context of issues of national interest, a brief recap of key points from U.S. fisheries management is given below.
