Summary
FINFO demonstrates the sustainability of Gulf fisheries through education. A collaboration among the GSMFC, the fisheries management agencies from each of the five Gulf states and NOAA Fisheries, FINFO gathers information from across the Gulf to put credible, easy to understand, science-based information about Gulf fisheries, both commercial and recreational, at the fingertips of stakeholders. The site provides information about top Gulf of Mexico fisheries, ranging from basic facts about species biology and habitat to how the fishery operates and how each state ensures these operations are sustainable. Through FINFO, stakeholders can quickly review the status of Gulf fisheries resources or dig deeper to understand the robust science and responsible fisheries management, which is currently at work to ensure our fisheries remain viable so people can enjoy the Gulf's world-famous seafood and legendary fishing for generations to come.
