Description:NMFS has developed an EBFM Policy and Roadmap and a Climate Science Strategy to help guide fisheries managers as they adapt to these new conditions. However, neither of those documents specifically addresses how NMFS or the Councils should determine or adjust governance to account for shifting species distributions. Therefore, this document: a) describes existing governance structures for federal fisheries distributed across more than one jurisdiction (e.g., across multiple Council areas) within the United States, b) briefly discusses management of species between a Council and the states2 or interstate commissions, c) provides a current example where shifting distributions led to an updated governance structure, and d) turns to the peer-reviewed literature to identify and summarize ideas fisheries managers can consider when preparing for these shifts.
