Outlook Issues
• Decline of Florida oyster fishery
• Gulf Coast Seafood Coalition
• Mullet “supply” concerns
• Trade Adjustment Assistance Program
• Sustainability concept morphing
• Source of US seafood supply
• Traceability assurance programs
• Federal Management … more complex
Open Access Limited Access … Rational Management
• Most fisheries in G & S Atl managed under limited access (federal permit, restricted endorsements, permit moratoria, etc) to avoid over-capitalization, overfishing, etc
• Total Allowable Catch tightly controlled via stock assessment process (SEDAR) and amended regularly with uncertainty included … Annual Catch Limits increasingly strict
• Some fisheries adopted rational management concept (IFQ) … to
extend season, price support, remove effort derbies, etc • Revised Magnuson Stevens Act … end overfishing by 2011 … with
“catch shares” proposed for all
