niaz policy letters, Publications

A network of fishermen, fishing families and communities, scientists, social scientists, economists, farmers, environmentalists and local food enthusiasts weight in on the NOAA Catch Share Policy proposed by the Catch Share Task Force. The group recommends NOAA’s policies foster an economically viable fleet, engender a diverse fleet whose impact on the ocean matches the unique ecosystems contained within, and thus, is environmentally resilient; and, advocated for Catch Share systems that can lead to true community and ecosystem based management.
