The committee will consider the effects of acute events and long-term physical changes on restoration projects; discuss synergistic and antagonistic effects of long-term restoration activities; recommend adaptive management strategies; and assess the relevant existing resources and available data for informing decision making. The study will help fulfill one of GRP's top goals -- monitoring progress and documenting how the health of the Gulf is changing over time.

A 2017 National Academies report, Review of the Marine Recreational Information Program, highlighted the difficulty of collecting necessary data on recreational fisheries. In some cases, enforcement of catch limits to prevent overfishing requires short recreational fishing seasons, further complicating data collection, monitoring, and management.

A primary responsibility of this subcommittee is to initiate fisheries-related studies and ensure that they are carried out successfully. The Fisheries Subcommittee typically meets once each year in conjunction with Board meetings to: • Present the results of recently completed studies related to fisheries • Review the progress of studies underway • Discuss emerging concerns in fisheries science, management, and policy and set priorities for future activities Participation in the fisheries subcommittee is open to any member of the OSB with an interest in fishery related topics.

This committee will provide an update of the previous report's inventory of the sources, composition, and quantity of hydrocarbon inputs based on changes in industry practices affecting oil spills and chronic inputs, as well as an assessment of the state of the science on the fate and effects of fossil fuel hydrocarbons in the marine environment. This update also will reflect new oil quantification methods and scientific information about oil transport and environmental impacts gained since 2003.

The commit tee will organize information about environmental fates and effects in a manner that would be informative for the application of ecological risk assessment. Developing a Booklet on Biodiversity for the Public and Policy Makers The National Academies convened an international committee to produce a brief, clear sum mary to help the public learn why biodiversity is important, why it is at risk, and actions that decision makers in government and the private sector could take to reverse species declines and loss of biodiversity.

Effective assessment and management by BOEM depends on adequate and defensible science. To succeed in this mission, BOEM strives to have a science program within their Environmental Studies Program that is regarded as "first in class." This committee will plan workshops and produce a short report outlining how BOEM can achieve "first in class" status for the use-inspired science program within their Environmental Studies Program.
