Description:In 2020 and 2021, the Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) and the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (SAFMC) collaborated on an initiative to apply a participatory modeling method to the dolphin and wahoo fishery, with the goal of better understanding the physical, biological, social, economic, and institutional aspects of the fishery in the Southeast U.S. Information gathered in this process was intended to support decision-making related to Amendment 10 and future amendments to the Fishery Management Plan for the Dolphin and Wahoo Fishery. During the workshops, SEFSC and SAFMC staff documented the perspectives of industry participants engaged in the fishery and built a conceptual model that represents the different internal and external factors impacting the fishery and how they are related. Representatives from the SAFMC and SEFSC traveled to three fishing communities (Beaufort NC, Wanchese NC, and Virginia Beach VA) in March 2020 to carry out facilitated workshops. Workshops were also planned for Southeastern Florida and the Florida Keys, but due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, a decision was made to move to a virtual format so that input from fishing industry members could be collected in a timely manner.
