REPORT TO


THE CONGRESS

                             013 70


BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL

OF THE UNITED STATES


Action Is Needed Now To


Protect Our Fishery


Resources


National Marine Fisheries Service
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Department of Commerce

Many fish species important to the U.S.
fishing industry are being depleted or
threatened with depletion through overfishing
by U.S. and foreign fishermen and alteration
of U.S. coastal areas.
The State-Federal Fisheries Management
Program was established in 1971 to achieve
coordinated management of domestic fishery
resources, but progress has been slow. States
have had trouble agreeing on (1) what
management measures are appropriate and (2)
a timetable for implementing such measures.

The Congress should consider giving the
Secretary of Commerce statutory authority to
impose management measures on U.S.
fisheries when States fail to do so.
