Description:
"Commercial fishing is one of the most dangerous occupations in the United States. A number of factors can either positively or negatively influence fishing vessel safety, such as: fishing vessel safety regulations, characteristics of the vessel (e.g., age, condition, and maintenance), human competency, weather conditions, and fishery regulations. Several federal agencies have an obligation and interest in promoting fishing vessel safety. NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the eight Regional Fishery Management Councils (Councils) manage federal fisheries under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA)"--Executive Summary, paragraph 1.
