New England Fisheries: Planning for the Future. Workshop Reader for Forum at the New England Aquarium, January 1996. New England Aquarium.

This document serves as the resource for a forum which took place at the New England Aquarium in January of 1996. It provides articles and information about fisheries management, vessel buyout, aquaculture, fisheries co-management, by-catch, and habitat alteration. An example of one such resource is the ‘CRS Report for Congress: Overcapitalization in the U.S. Commercial Fishing Industry.’ This report provides background information describing the current situation (as of 1996) faced by fishery managers and policymakers. As such, this report provides a basic framework for considering possible amendments to the Marine Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MFCMA) of 1976 and other legislation that could affect the health of the industry and the welfare of marine resources. This particular article is one of many which are included in this resource.
