Overview
FIP Description
The FIP concentrates on continual improvement of retained bycatch management measures to aid in the recovery of GOM/GB Atlantic Cod, GOM/GB yellowtail flounder, GB Winter flounder, and Witch flounder. The current management system encompasses a clear process for which improvements can be tested, approved and put into legislation. This processes starts with ideas generated and tested at the sector level, and if successful, these ideas become documented rules in the sector's operational plan. If these sector rules are effective and adopted by all sectors, these rules can then be put forth as permanent management measures - if passed, they would then be listed on the federal register. Numerous bycatch improvements have entered this process, some of which are legislation today and some that are still being tested.
On August 16th, 2018 Atlantic Coast Seafood, Inc. joined the MSC certificate for this fishery. https://fisheries.msc.org/en/fisheries/us-acadian-redfish-haddock-and-po...

FIP Objective(s)
This project will mobilize an effort to develop a strategy that puts effective management measures in place such that the fishery does not hinder the recovery and rebuilding of the retained species (GOM/GB Atlantic Cod, GOM/GB yellowtail flounder, GB Winter flounder, and Witch flounder) by 2020.
