Fisheries Resource Monitoring Program

The Office of Subsistence Management conducted a series of workshops to develop strategic plans for several of the Fisheries Resource Monitoring Program regions. Federal and State fishery managers, scientists, Alaska Native and rural organization representatives, and Regional Advisory Council members are participating in these workshops. During each workshop, Federal subsistence fisheries management research needs were identified and prioritized. The strategic plans are used to guide future requests for proposals and ensure that data collected address the highest priority Federal subsistence fisheries management issues. Strategic plans will be updated as new information becomes available.
