Proceedings from the North Carolina Marine Recreational Fishing Forum (6th). Planning: The Key to Fisheries Management. Held on April 12, 1997.

摘要

The original North Carolina Marine Recreational Fishing Forum, initiated by North Carolina Sea Grant (www.ncseagrant.org) and held annually from 1992 to 1997, was considered by many stakeholders to be an excellent mechanism to engage the recreational fishing community on pressing issues through a facilitated discussion outside of the regulatory arena. Reconvening the Forum this year will support outreach and information activities for recreational fisheries data collection programs, but even more, will provide an additional venue for communicating information on some of today's pressing issues and for garnering engagement and gathering input from the marine recreational fishing community.
