Conservation Units of Managed Fish, Threatened or Endangered Species, and Marine Mammals, Silver Spring, Maryland

NMFS convened a workshop of scientists, managers, and policy advisors to discuss issues related to conservation units, exchange information about the biological basis for stock structure, learn about case studies in which particular aspects of population structure are important, discuss strengths and weaknesses of NMFS’ identification of conservation units under the three statutes, and to recommend alternative approaches or revisions for identifying conservation units under the three statutes.
