Since its beginning in 2000, the annual Trinational Sardine and Small Pelagics Forum has rotated among Mexico, Canada, and the United States and has been comprised of a wide range of participants from government, academia, and industry.
It is the mission of the Trinational Sardine and Small Pelagics Forum to collaborate in improving coast-wide stock assessments: sampling for age, size composition, reproductive state, regional biomass estimates, stock structure, development of a common data base, following industry trends and issues and understanding of the role of Pacific sardine (Sardinops sagax) in the California Current Ecosystem.
