From page 1...
... To this effect, the 2007 reauthorization of the MSA mandated that Regional Fishery Management Councils set annual catch limits (ACLs) to prevent overfishing for all managed species in federal waters, as well as accountability measures to prevent ACLs from being exceeded.
From page 2...
... In 2017, an ad hoc committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (the National Academies) published Review of the Marine Recreational Information Program, which assessed progress in updating marine recreational fisheries data collection through MRIP over the previous decade and identified potential areas for improvements or modifications to the program that would increase data quality for sustainable fisheries management.
From page 3...
... The Modernizing Recreational Fisheries Management Act of 2018 called for a National Academies study on how well the Marine Recreational Information Program meets the needs of in-season management of fisheries with annual catch limits (ACLs)
From page 4...
... The MSA established a national program for fisheries conservation and management, including the creation of eight Regional Fishery Management Councils (Councils) composed of representatives of commercial and recreational fishing, NOAA Fisheries, and the marine fisheries agencies of the coastal states.
From page 5...
... marine recreational fishing trips and catch in terms of total numbers of recreational fishing trips or total recreational catch. Within their intended scope and design constraints, MRIP data are critically important for fisheries management.
From page 6...
... OPTIMIZING THE USE OF MRIP AND COMPLEMENTARY DATA FOR IN-SEASON MANAGEMENT Several attributes of marine recreational fisheries make them difficult to characterize and monitor. While MRIP was developed to address some of these challenges and to generate estimates of recreational fisheries catch and effort that are better suited for use in stock assessment and management, MRIP surveys were neither intended nor designed to support in-season monitoring of recreational catch.

... . Recommendation: The Marine Recreational Information Program (MRIP)
From page 8...
... . Recommendation: Interstate Fisheries Commissions, states, NOAA Fisheries, and other members of the Marine Recreational Information Program Regional Implementation Teams should anticipate and take into account the need for intercalibration and contin ued survey development when new recreational fisheries surveys and survey methods are considered.
From page 9...
... In response to the recommendations of recreational fisheries organizations and Regional Fishery Management Councils, the MFA specified that NOAA Fisheries and Councils can implement alternative management approaches more suitable to the nature of recreational fishing as long as they still adhere to the conservation principles and requirements established by the MSA. The committee identified several such alternative management approaches with good potential that could be pilot tested (see Chapter 5)
From page 10...
... supplemental surveys focused on regional or Council-managed species should be accomplished in close coordination with the Interstate Fisheries Commissions, NOAA Fisheries, and other members of the MRIP regional implementation teams. The need for timeliness of recreational catch information is driven largely by the fact that ACLs are set and monitored on a strictly annual basis.
