About
Competition for Atlantic herring research support is now open under a program unique to Northeast fishery management—the Atlantic Herring Research Set-Aside Program. Projects selected through the competition are awarded fishing quota rather than dollars and use the proceeds from selling or catching that quota to fund their work. This year’s priorities include portside sampling, reducing bycatch, stock structure, spawning dynamics, localized depletion, and fishery discards, and discard mortality.
