Description:Fish are one of the most important components of marine and estuarine ecosystems. They inhabit a wide range of habitats and are frequently the focus of commercial and recreational harvest. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is vested with management responsibilities over these organisms under a variety of laws, including the Endangered Species Act and the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act; has trustee responsibilities under the Clean Water Act and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA); and is authorized to manage or protect marine fish during oil and hazardous materials spills.
