Description:The purpose of this symposium is to share information pertinent to the biomass management. area. The importance of this meeting and the agenda topics cannot be overemphasized.The wealth of experience of the symposium participants, as well as the data and information., will help the herring fishery resource management personnel to prepare better resource management plans for both the preservation of Alaska's herring resource stocks and the socio-economic benefits derived from the utilization of this important marine resource. Alaska's Bering Sea herring fishery is in the embryonic growth stage. It is vitally important that every effort be made to create and foster the environment for the exchange of scientific marine information to help manage these stocks. Alaska has adopted a policy for fishery management which provides its residents with opportunities to benefit from the resource utilization. Ten of the 12 Native regional corporations have major coastal property. Five of the Native regional corporations have investments in the fishing industry. These same corporations are the largest private landholders in. the state. Most of the Native populations have depended on marine resources initially for subsistence and also for income and employment. Historically, marine resources have played an important part in the state' s economy. The results of your participation in this symposium will assist Alaskan policy makers in assuring that the herring resource will continue to provide benefits in the long-term.
