Regional Action Plan: Northeast Regional Office and Northeast Fisheries Center

摘要

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has developed a Regional Action Plan (RAP) process to foster coordinated management/research responses to major habitat conservation issues and problems, and to develop better steps to address them in the future. The purpose of the Northeast RAP is to strengthen the research/management interface among the Northeast Region, the Northeast Fisheries Center, and the NMFS Washington Office so that needs for conservation of living marine resources and their habitats are addressed.
