NOAA Fisheries and partners conduct annual groundfish surveys to provide biological data and information for stock assessments in the Gulf of America (formerly Gulf of Mexico).
Biological and environmental data collected from the summer and fall groundfish surveys provide critical information to stock assessors and researchers.
NOAA Fisheries is designing a new management approach for dolphinfish, also known as mahi mahi. We are working with fishing communities to maximize the benefits of this fishery management approach across multiple user groups and regions.
As part of a dolphinfish management strategy evaluation, NOAA Fisheries conducted stakeholder workshops to develop conceptual management objectives, identify relevant uncertainties, and collect input on the type of management procedures to explore.
