Just as Massachusetts was the foundation for this nation, the fishing industry was the foundation of our economy. Sadly, each year, our fleet is vanishing. Each year, families who for generations have bravely and proudly fished our waters are forced out of their livelihoods. In my own district, which stretches along the coast from Kingston to Cape Cod, the few fishermen who are left are desperately trying to hold onto their boats, their houses, and to feed their families. Our larger commercial fleets in Gloucester, New Bedford, and Provincetown have been decimated. And instead of trying to find solutions we have all been fighting for, we have consistently run into road block after road block. And in many cases, our fishermen have been seen as guilty until proven innocent.

The United States Government Printing Office (GPO) was created in June 1860, and is an agency of the U.S. federal government based in Washington D.C. The office prints documents produced by and for the federal government, including Congress, the Supreme Court, the Executive Office of the President and other executive departments, and independent agencies. A hearing is a meeting of the Senate, House, joint or certain Government committee that is open to the public so that they can listen in on the opinions of the legislation. Hearings can also be held to explore certain topics or a current issue. It typically takes between two months up to two years to be published. This is one of those hearings.

Marine recreational fishing is a popular activity enjoyed by more than 9 million Americans annually and is a driver of the American ocean-or blue-economy. To ensure that fish populations are not overexploited, the NOAA Fisheries' Marine Recreational Information Program (MRIP) monitors recreational catch through a variety of in-person, telephone, mail-in, and other surveys. NOAA Fisheries' management of recreational catch also must take into account annual catch limits (ACLs) established to prevent overfishing for all managed species in federal waters. While MRIP has worked to improve recreational catch surveys over the past decade, the surveys were never designed to meet the demands of in-season management of ACLs. In some cases, estimates of harvest have triggered accountability measures such as early season closures and reductions in future recreational ACLs, which have been a source of contention with the recreational fishing community. This report presents approaches for optimizing MRIP data and complementary data for in-season management and considers alternatives for managing recreational fisheries with ACLs to better serve both social and economic management objectives.
