Background
The U.S. herring fishery is managed
as one stock complex along the East
Coast from Maine to Cape Hatteras, NC,
although evidence suggests that separate
spawning components exist within the
stock complex. The Council and the
Atlantic States Marine Fisheries
Commission (ASMFC) adopted
management measures for the herring
fishery in state and Federal waters in
1999, and NMFS approved most of the
management measures in the Herring
