Marine Fisheries Advisory Committee

The Marine Fisheries Advisory Committee is a group of experts, industry representatives, and conservationists that advise the U.S. government on policies related to marine fisheries and ocean resources. They provide recommendations to ensure sustainable fishing practices, protect marine ecosystems, and support the fishing industry. The committee helps balance economic interests with environmental conservation, ensuring seafood resources are managed responsibly for current and future generations. Their advice influences federal decisions on fishing regulations, research priorities, and conservation efforts.
