National Performance Indicator for Fisheries (NPIF)

This system is a tool to facilitate the entering and storing of annual and baseline performance indicator data for each Catch Share and Non Catch Share fishery by NMFS Science Center and Regional Office Staff

To allow NMFS Science Center and Regional Office staff to enter performance indicator data for each catch share and non catch share fisheries.

This metadata record is intended to provide current, summary information on the National Performance Indicator for Fisheries (NPIF). As the system continues to evolve, each production release of NPIF will have a child metadata record within this parent record (see "Child Items" below). This metadata record will be updated over time to reflect any major changes to the system. Minor changes and release specific information will be documented in the children, release specific metadata records.

For general information on the NPIF project or the Marine Recreational Information Program that funds it, please see the metadata record links that appear under the "Other Related Items" section below.
