SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(MSA) requires that regional fishery
management councils develop ‘‘multiyear research priorities for fisheries,
fisheries interactions, habitats, and
other areas of research that are
necessary for management purposes’’
(16 U.S.C. 1852(h)(7)). This includes
research to support fishery management
plans and associated regulations for
fisheries requiring conservation and
management to prevent overfishing,
rebuild depleted fish stocks, and ensure
sustainable fishing practices. Research
priorities should be established and
updated as necessary. The Council
reviews its research priorities every 3
years, and the next triennial review of
research priorities is tentatively
scheduled for April 2024.
The MSA identifies the intended
audience for Council research priorities
as the Secretary of Commerce and, the
Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC),
‘‘for their consideration in developing
research priorities and budgets’’ for
Alaska. In past years, Council research
priorities were provided to the Secretary
of Commerce, the AFSC, as well as
research and funding entities including
universities, research boards, and other
management agencies in the region.
Additional entities that intersect with
the Council management
responsibilities may also be included as
participation in the development of
these research priorities broadens.
