Jill Berman (au). Ensuring a healthy supply of fish & other marine species in the waters beyond each state’s jurisdiction is a Federal responsibility carried out by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) & 8 fishery management councils. This report assesses NMFS’ compliance with three provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, which require it to: use the best available scientific information for fishery management; take into account the economic importance of fishery resources to fishing communities as it adopts measures to manage fishery resources; & identify essential fish habitat, the adverse impacts on that habitat, & the actions needed to conserve & enhance that habitat. Charts & tables.
