Description:Review of New York State law and administrative arrangements for the conservation of marine fishery resources shows that, for practical purposes, the state has no cohesive fishery management policy which presents long-range objectives. Instead, marine fishery regulations have been established piecemeal. Introduced legislation is usually based on popular solutions and is without benefit of sufficient scientific background information. Increasing popularity in the recreational fisheries has resulted in increased efforts to restrict the commercial fisheries. Moreover, rational decision-making has been hindered by a lack of fundamental information on the total amount of commercial and recreational fishing catch and effort, and on the abundance and distribution of the resources. New York State cannot manage its living marine resources without a management plan, adequate information on all fishing activities, and adequate cooperation from other states in managing migratory species.
