2023 Transboundary Resources Assessment Committee Peer Review Meeting

The Transboundary Resource Assessment Committee (TRAC) supports management activities for shared resources across the U.S.-Canada boundary in the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank region. 

TRAC was established in 1998 to peer review assessments of transboundary fishery resources in the Georges Bank area, in order to ensure that the management efforts of both Canada and the United States of America, pursued either independently or cooperatively, are founded on a common understanding of fishery resource status.
